I'd love to see this on a Google maps plot.

I can't find this flight on the OLC - you'd think they would submit it.

touched down in Omarama in Central Otago last night, having glided
2501km.
Landed Last night? Is that why it's not on the OLC ?

Terry has another day to post his flight. But flight distances with
multiple legs of this length differ little from the OLC distance. Well
done, Klaus.
It's amazing when a 2009k flight gets you second place on the daily
score!

Some one here knows, why Ohlmans 3009km is on discontinued category?
(free distance up with 3 turn points) And why there is new category
"free three turn point distance". What's the difference???
