Minnesota Downwind Dash!
Barry Yeager and Dick Andrews launched this morning at 10 AM (10 AM!!!) from Fairbault. They are about to cross I-80 in Iowa as of 12:30. They are flying Barry's Arcus M. My understanding is the goal is 750km just east of St Louis which ought to be good for a multiplace distance to declared goal National Record.

Is there a second tracker for a ground vehicle?

It looks like they landed in Covington TN. Roughly 7 hours in the air.
634.8 miles / 1021.6 km Straight line. Wow! That's the longest flight out of MN ever! Lou

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