Hi Gary,

This may be a stupid question, but I thought the maximum difference between
the start and finish had to be 3281 feet (1000 m), but I see your tow was
quite high. *Did you have to take a big distance penalty?

It is an amazing flight!

Paul,

I thought about the exact same thing. Flatlanders all think alike I
guess. ;-)

But I did figure out the answer by realizing the landing location was
3000+ feet above the take off point.

That high tow sure came in handy at the beginning of his flight when
he lost 2,700 feet before thermalling.
