Top flight in the World on Saturday... 853k on the OLC at 109kph.
When asked on the radio if he was going back to flying a 1-26, Jim
responded "this is way more fun".

Yes, I too have the bug. In 2004 with my first time in Tehachapi, I
did about 468K in the Owens without much effort from Rosemont. I was
doing some of this in my HG back in the early 80s. However, this time
it was with much less anxiety, much more comfort. I wonder if I could
ever come up to the standards of Jim Payne??
