This retrieve is going to cost more than an ice cream cone.

Yep - over 11 hours of driving time each way. Not including trailer speeds, stops, etc.

The paperwork will tell the story but I don't think they beat Jim Hard's Sports Class Free Distance record. I think they were a few miles short.

Interesting that the old record was set by Jim with different handicaps.

If Jim flew that flight today with today's handicaps, I don't think the record would ever be broken.

RIP Jim!

I am sure Jim Hard was watching from above and tipping his hat to them.
