The winds were a bit too much in Kadoka, South Dakota, after a
three hour drive east from Gillette, Wyoming. Now they are faced with a twelve

service and support was fabulous). It didn't take long to realize what a
amazing glider it is. To compliment its great flight characteristics and color

I flew my Sport 2 in the Owens Valley last Friday (July 5th) and

but so easy and fun to fly. Thanks Wills Wing!
At the last minute, I had sweet-talked my way onto a vehicle, and gone up just
for one day. The plan was...

Owen Morse attempted to break Tom Weissenberger's out and return
record (Class 1) on Independence Day. Here is his track:
He didn't quite make it back to his start after flying for over 10 hours. He was
facing a head wind on the way back.
Current records from Tom (set in Chile and published here earlier in the Oz
Report) are 353 km for...

Almost to Montana.
Jeff Beck flies 177 miles to almost Montana (and chooses the right area to make
that possible) from Chelan Butte well into Idaho and almost across the border.
The route is to the north of the route that gets pilots near Coeur d'Alene past

We traveled east to Buffalo, Oklahoma on Tuesday to try to get out

to the NNW...
