It looks like they landed in Covington TN. Roughly 7 hours in the air. 634.8 miles / 1021.6 km Straight line. Wow! That's the longest flight out of MN ever! Lou What an amazing flight. In the Midwest no less. Great job. Chris

Barry Yeager and Dick Andrews launched this morning at 10 AM (10 AM!!!) from Fairbault. They are about to cross I-80 in Iowa as of 12:30. They are flying Barry's Arcus M. My understanding is the goal is 750km just east of St Louis which ought to be good for a multiplace distance to declared goal National Record. Barry's SPOT: https://maps.findmespot.com/Track?is...#panel-history Can we get a IGC file and congrats on the record, Lou you did the retrieve I assume?

"Lou you did the retrieve I assume?"
Nope - that was done by the pilot's very loving wives. Lou

Wouldn't that be great for us? Think how much easier retrieves would be if you could share the driving!
