New Oregon rigid wing record

On August 3 Charlie Baughman flew about 196 miles from Pine Mt to Ontario Oregon on a blue sky day. Highest altitude was only 13,400 feet. Flight lasted 6.5 hours and the landing was after 8:00 which meant that some of the fold up was in the dark. He had a tailwind of 10 to 20 mph. Glider flown was an ATOS VR. He made the flight with no driver and no radio contact for the last three quarters of the flight. Discuss Oregon at the Oz Report forum
