Highly impressive. Great to see other countries making an effort to develop their team flying skills.

Matt and Alan are flying for Australia in the Standard class worlds in
Finland later this year. Seems like they have developed good team
flying ahead of the event.

From [Aus-Soaring], Pam Kurstjens:

GFA has ratified the following record flown simultaneously by Allan Barnes and Matt Gage:

Australian Standard Class 750 Km triangle speed: 134.01 kph.

The pilots flew from West Wyalong on 08/02/2014, in 2 LS8/15m gliders, starting and finishing together, to achieve this simultaneous record.
