New site records at Manilla
https://www.northerndailyleader.com.au/story/5886288/manilla-xc-camp-soars-to-record-breaking-heights/
The camp attracted a record 204 pilots representing a record 18
nations (nearly half the field were international pilots) and broke site flying
records with Romanias Tudor Dorobantu and Australias Airie Merlin becoming the
first pilots to fly over 400km from Mt Borah. Bettering the 389km flown in 2017, Dorobantu set a new site benchmark of 407km
with Merlin not far behind. The pair landed just after sunset on Saturday south west of Bourke after an epic
10-and-a-half-hour flight.
