Gordo and Hugh landed back at Minden around 4:00 after an 11 hour
flight. Preliminary reports are of a total distance over 1,000 NM, but because of the way the wave shifted during their flight south and return, and the lack of cloud markers, they had a hard time finding wave to close the course. At one point over Air Sailing Gordo said they were standing still above the ground while indicating 80 kts airspeed, and he wanted to avoid landing out at Reno International again so he headed back to Minden. This is Hugh's longest flight yet and he said he was ready for more! We'll post more on the SoaringNV web site when we get photos and traces. Fred |
