I'd
appreciate any input from the forum on what they see as the pinnacle
of
soaring whether it is a 1000km task, flying New Zealands wave or some
other goal that may be beyond the day-to-day pilots reach.


I'll put up a list on a website once I get some input.


My 'Bucket List'

Sierra Wave
French Alps
New Zealand
Ely NV
All three diamonds in one flight.


That's a pretty good list.

I personaly would add getting a bungee launch in something vintage
(SG-38, Minimoa) at the Wasserkuppe, and flying the Morning glory in
Australia
