Re: [aus-soaring] Diamond height in thermals

[Michael Texler]

Is this an urban myth?

I once heard that Bocians were used in Europe to be launched into approaching
storm clouds (with suitable instruments) to gain incredible heights...

Is this total baloney?

(??There is no FAI record for height gain in 2 seaters??)
