No Big Jon did not better my 500kms on Saturday. The flying here
has been good, but still not excellent. Saturday was looking good with a 7:30 am
launch and clouds already to the horizon, however we had high cloud that would
become thicker as the day went on. I landed early 60kms out from launch after
spending one hour in the air and landing at 8:45am. Big Jon and Davo wound down
at Chinchilla (300kms) as the high cloud was really thick and they would not
break the record. They did land at 3pm so still had 3 hrs more of flying.
I hear there has been many people trying for this record over the last week.
Michi fresenbichler flew 350kms from Wilcannia to Hay and Gerolf and Atilla
tried for a 367kms triangle but landed 40kms short.
Dave Seib flew 420kms yesterday from Willcannia to Cunnamulla in Queensland.
I think there will be another chance at getting the record before the new year.
