I just noticed Steve Fossett's glider altitude record flight does not appear
in
http://www.fai.org/records. However, I am sure it will be there in the
near future. (

All official aviation related world records are maintained by the FAI.
You can view records at http://www.fai.org/records
When viewing the link, the first thing I noticed is that the FAI does not
have an "Ultralight" category. However, if you check airplanes under 300
kg/piston powered, you will not find him as the current or historical
holder of the an altitude record. The same is true for the Microlight
category.

Among Campbell's many other lofty accomplishments are his 1981
Ultralight World
Record High Altitude flight to 21,210 feet over Lakehurst, New Jersey
Really? Wouldn't the FAI know about it? A google search "FAI Campbell"
comes up with a Sue Campbell, but I didn't see a James. What am I
missing?
