Congrats, 1000K is hard, in a 1-26 is harder. Good show (assuming he gets
home and flight trace is good).


Seriously STUDLY (reGARDless of flight trace possibilities - but I hope all he
"needs" to ultimately brag about is the flight, not stuff gone wrong related
to it!)!!!

Why, it was less than 3 years ago when I was helping pull young Daniel and his
borrowed 1-26 from a field. Today? Fame by association - woo hoo!

In all seriousness, way to go Daniel!!!

Thanks a lot guys! It was a fantastic day. Glad it worked out!

Huge thanks to all of the people that made this happen:

Steve Beer for crewing
Rick Roelke/Bob Cook assisting with official observing
Brian Glick for towing early early in the morning
Phil Chidekel for the weather forecasts

MSA for providing such a wonderful clubhouse to crash the night
Aero Club Albatross for letting me use their wonderful 1-26E!

Full report to follow after some reasonable rest.

Thanks again,
Daniel
