Hello Graham

I don't know to whom you addressed your question. However, here's my answer: I
did the 50 km (actually, 100+ km, as I went to a remote airstrip, took a photo
and came back to my home port) in a Grob 102.

Cheers, Charles

Cheat? Bigtime! Didn't even have a logger "Badges? We don't need no
stinkin' badges!" Thinking back on it, my first 50 km + flight that I
recall (actually more like 150-it was a good day) was in a Grob Astir
CS. Given the weather anything more than a 1-26 would've been cheating
on that day too.

Cheers,
Shawn
