While Gordon Boettger had a fantastic flight, the OLC

shows two other nice flights. Pat Martin flying a
DG 505 and Robert Spielman in a 1-26D! The OLC website
scored him with 706.62 km!!! In a 1-26!

Nicely done, Robert!

If an old Kestrel can go 1950 km, and an old 1-26 can go 706 km, why
aren't there a dozen of the "good" gliders out there going great
distances? Or, maybe, Gordon, Pat, and Robert are just exceptional pilots?


Who has every weekend off for flying??

I don't know their names, but I'd guess 20-30 pilots in the Minden area.
Let's see, there's Minden, Air Sailing, Truckee - did I miss any of
the places there that have pilots every weekend?
