Default May 1986 World Record Story

You might also enjoy picking up a copy of Ed Kilbourne's music CD which
contains the song "Ridge Runners", which IIRC, was inspired by the group you
mention. If you google the Soaring Magazine Archive, you will find the
following, which should be the article you seek.

Robertson, Robbie; with Karl Striedeick, John Seymour and Roy McMaster
Four on the Floor [Techniques\Cross Country Soaring; Awards\Records and
Record Flights], November, 1986, page 16


Regards and happy soaring!

On 02May 1986, the following pilots completed a 1362.68 KM triangle:

Karl H. Striedieck - ASW 20
John C. Seymour - ASW20
Robert L. Robertson - Ventus
Thomas L. Knauff - Nimbus 3
Leonard Roy McMaster - ASW 20

All except Thomas Knauff flew together. I'm looking for the write up
of this flight that I once read, written by all pilots. It is one of
the most interesting and best written stories I've read and I can't
find a copy of it, since someone in my office took off with mine.

If anyone has info on where I can get a copy, I'd be appreciative. I
can't even remember which issue of Soaring it was in or who gets
credit for writing it.
Thanks
