Hollister to the Mexican border
On Saturday 6/21, Eric Rupp flew his DG300 from Hollister (Bay Area,
California) to the Mexican border near Mexicali, landing at Calexico, over 400 miles from Hollister. This was a new record and an epic flight which several of us were trying to achieve for many years. Congratulations Eric, way to go! http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...Id=-1269226351 Ramy

Hollister to the Mexican border
How is 400 miles a record distance?

Hollister to the Mexican border
Hollister - or any other Bay Area distance record. Ramy- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Here is a satellite picture from that same day. Looks like one could have kept going south of the border and had a cloud street going maybe half way down the length of the Baja peninsula. Wonder if someone will try that flight some day? Or has it already been done? http://tinyurl.com/6qw5j4
