Looks like he covered over 300km.
Shall we petition to have Judy give honorary gold distance award? I would love to get that GPS trace...

Apparently there is a community of 'em. I might like to try it sometime.
Hafta admit they're easier to see than an ASW-20 head-on. ; )

Maybe I'm nuts, but way back when Larry What's-his-name did it, and
all my associates were ranting about what a lunatic he was (okay, not
smart or sane to do it in LA airspace) I was secretly thinking "Hmmm,
with a little better equipement set up, and away from major air
traffic, that doesn't sound all that crazy". How much crazier than
flying a hot air ballon is flying a cluster of helium balloons? Not
much, to my way of thinking. At least you're not carrying around a
furnace and enough fuel to blow you to kingdom come.
