Boettger Glider Distance Record Attempt Sunday 5/4/14
Not looking good. Way too north of track, with a clear sw wind bias. Nevertheless, a wonderful straight or free distance!

Flight aware suggest they are holding altitude at 8600. Is there a chance they might get another small climb in that area? Maybe their transponder dropped out or they fell below radar service
