Too bad they didn't post to the OLC...

IMHO, that should be a requirement for all record and perhaps even
badge claims. These flights then would be available for all to study
and learn.

There were some issues with the data integrety. I hope
that they were able to sort them out. Both pilots were
estatic after landing and had quite a tale of long
blue holes for completion. OLC or not quite a feat
for the day!

Rumor is that the log files were corrupted on initial download and
they are working to recover them.

We feel their pain!

I echo the congrats to Terry. Thats a hell of a flight.

Keep in mind that there are still a few of us out there that are
clinging to the dream that this sport is actually cheap. Requiring a
logger for silver distance is a little overkill. I can see your point
though as viewing the trace would be an excellent debriefing tool and
learning opportunity for other pilots.
