This is crazy. This months 'photo of the month' in kiwi gliding
land is the one attached... What sort of image are they trying to
portray - the PW5, the blue blocker sunnys, the flannel hat
what the!?
If you go to www.gliding.co.nz you will see that one of their pilots
has just set a distance-via-3TPs record of 600.1 km. World record in
PW5 class!!. Took him 9 hours, never got above 3500 ft and mostly
around 1500 ft. Not bad for a low scratch even if it was
rock-polishing! If this photo is the same bloke no wonder he looks
happy - though I'd be surprised if it was taken at the end of that flight!!
