Way to go John !

PS: John also won overall European OLC championship in 2007:http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...tml?st=olc&rt=...

John just posted some video from his flight.
Wow ! Ever seen your altimeter go up this fast ?

Some stats:
Declared 1551 km task
Average speed of 180.3 kph (97.4 kts).
This beat the old record of 177.3 kph (95,7 kts) set by Klaus Ohlmann
and Regis Kuntz.

Looks like a good start for John's first time in the Andes !
