Too bad they didn't post to the OLC... :(

IMHO, that should be a requirement for all record and perhaps even
badge claims. These flights then would be available for all to study
and learn.

There were some issues with the data integrety. I hope
that they were able to sort them out. Both pilots were
estatic after landing and had quite a tale of long
blue holes for completion. OLC or not quite a feat
for the day!

Hm, I guess Cliff was having the same posting troubles I was....
Google Groups was a bit recalcitrant the last couple days.

And a belated congratulations to the pilots - an excellent flight even
if the logs don't get sorted out!

Agreed.

any news on his record? I see that Steve-O and Einar will be talking
Friday night at Oshkosh about the world altitude record. See you
there!
