You've heard about days when "we threw a rock in the air and it didn't come down for an hour"? 1-26 is pretty close!
Dan did a very clever job of working out a 1000K route that would require only short downwind transitions before good thermals would be available, enabling an 0700 departure.
A remarkable feat of good pre-flight planning and airmanship.
That's 770 miles!
ReplyDeleteDan flew 816 km or 507 miles!

Not to mention Daniel Sazhin flew a 1-26 1032 km. That's a first ever for a 1-26. Insanely good.
