Gliders just fly and go nowhere.

About 20 years ago, Karl Striedick flew a sailplane from Williamsport,
PA (IPT) to the vicinity of Nashville, Tennessee, and back, NONSTOP.


But that was so exceptional you still remember it 20 years on!;-)
Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the beauty of that, and they would be
justified in feeling a great sense of accomplishment - I'm just saying
that for me, if I always had to land in the same place I took off I would
have given up aviation fairly early on.
