Great Straight Out Flights From Ohio to New Jersey Yesterday
Dan Reagan and John Lubon covered about 800KM straight out on thermals from Caesar Creek, Ohio to Blairstown, New Jersey yesterday. I have to believe these are the longest straight out thermal flights ever made east of the Mississippi. Anyone know differently?

David Noyes did nearly 1000 km from Marion OH almost to Cape Cod. Must've been 15+ years ago. He wrote it up in Soaring. Pretty sure it was on an April 15th. So similar conditions.

Jack Wyman David Noyes' flight was on April 16, 1994. Article in Soaring in the Jan 1995 issue. A good read by a great pilot. And very good friend. RIP. Jack

Henry retting flew ~850km from Boca raton Florida to win the Barringer in 2008. Jerome Trowbridge did 766 km from Boca Raton in 1974, also a Barringer winner.
Bravo to John and Dave for great flights from Ohio. It has been a good year already for free distance flights
