It's taken 30 years for someone to fly materially farther than
Willi Muller did back in the 1980s with his Wills Wing Sport, and once again it
has taken a tow launch on the prairies to do it. Ross Hunter has just flown 400
kilometres in Saskatchewan, after a tow launch. Had he gone much further, he
would have hit the international border. There is no truth to the rumour that he
hates flying, and only did it for the money (Vincene Muller has a $500 prize for
the longest flight in a hang glider).

From Stewart Midwinter 5:59pm:

Holy crap! A little more than six hours after he was towed up in his hang glider
near Dundurn, Saskatchewan, Ross Hunter is still flying cross-country over the
prairies. He has been averaging 60 to 70 km/h over the ground, and is only 20 km
from Midale, Saskatchewan. That's nearly 370 km! His distance already exceeds
the Canadian record by more than 50 km. If he goes much further, he will hit the
US border and have to land. (It's been exciting watching him, but I didn't want
to say anything further for fear of jinxing him)

Update: Ross has already passed Midale, and is now covering ground at 80-90 km
an hour! He is closing in on Estevan. Like Nicole says, go Ross, go!

He landed half way between Macoun and Hitcchcock Saskatchewan - about 60 Km
short of Portal North Dakota.
