Have you seen this flight on Google Earth? Even more impressive than
the graphics on OLC - about half of it was flown over the open sea
(and far away from the coast) - fascinating!


OK now I get it. I hadn't looked at the google maps view, just the
standard OLC view. *I was thinking yea a good flight, especially good
distance for a PIK, but dang, about 100 km out to sea!


He must have big brass ones to go 100 km out to sea at only 5000 -
7000 ft.
