Default Condon does it again

Tony Condon drove up to Ames IA (from Wichita, KS) to attempt a downwind dash.

He appears to have landed at Madisonville Muni in KY after about a 7 hour flight!

Looks like about 750 km +/- = Wow!

Awesome stuff. Giving Henry Combs a run for his money.

I've got a ways to go to catch Henry. I think this flight makes eight straight out Diamond distances for me. Only 192 to go

Flight Trace with Satellite loop that John Bird put together. I think the tail on the flight trace is the last hour of the flight, giving an indication of my speed during that portion of the flight. Enjoy,

Tony,

I finally got around to creating GOES 1km animation of your track on the downwind May 4, 2017 flight... and here it is in two parts.. a northern half:

and a southern half:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/muh50zsjuo...04_TX.mp4?dl=0

John Bird's Satellite look looks great for this latest flight. I'm using Unidata's IDV program, GPSBabel to convert igc file to something compatible. I hope to created track that will move with the satellite time. It just requires more study and work.

Will repost this on your original r.a.s post
