An American paraglider pilot managed to achieve several records in
Bulgaria last Monday.

Sucked in a cu-nimb cloud he flew more than 60 km from south to north over the
Balkan mountain range, record flight in this direction. He climbed to 7452
meters (24448.75 feet) and spent time up there with the angels. The cloud spat
him over the town of Lovech where he landed alive and was taken to the local
hospital to be treated for frost bite. Take a look at the flight chart.

He must be the second survivor at this altitude since Ewa in the cu-nimb in
Australia years ago.

marked private.
