altitude record
I'm thinking of claiming a record. I have a valid IGC trace aquired recently
in the Pyrenees during which I climbed to 79275' ( yes seventy nine thousand two hundred and seventy five feet ) after taking off at 8228' - a 71000 plus gain of height. The logger was sealed in the glider, a nimbus 3 t, and still is as is the trace, the flight was witnessed. Although only dressed in shorts and t shirt I suffered no high altitude effects and the EDS O2 system worked perfectly. Lift was frequently over 30 m/s although I'm damned if I can remember it being that good. Anyone interested in the trace can mail me for a copy ( 40 kb ) Regards Ian
