Default Perlan GLIDER ALTITUDE: 52004 ft

What a contrast in equipment from the Bishop wave project to now.
What Jim and Morgan have done is absolutely fantastic and the prospects for the future are amazing.
But think about the original Bishop pilots and the planes they flew...no pressure suits...very primative oxygen systems...no heating systems...they were like naked men in the jungle compared to Jim and Morgan.
