Default Gary Osoba's record flight declined

The NAA rip off for doing nothing (Judy Ruprecht does all the work) is the
main reason we ridge runners don't bother with records anymore. They also
skim off thousands from what money we can raise to fund our US Team. Again
for no value added. This is an example of a beltway bureaucracy coasting
along on a compulsory welfare program.

I like to say it's the experience, not the achievement. That flight
is a world record experience. No one an touch that. Those hours are
yours for eternity. The rest of us are in awe, inspired to experience
similar hours.
