Hi Adam,
"....looks like I've got some catching up to do over the coming 25 years
..."
ME TOO!
Shall we just grow younger with each passing year, or in my case anyway,
maybe that should read ...just regress?
Good luck in "Round 2" at Narromine. See you there soon.
I look forward to congratulating you on your own first 1000 km:... In a
Cirrus 75?? Would that be a first in the world? I seem to recall that 1000
km has been done at least once in a Libelle (in Europe), using ridge, wave,
and thermals. Must have been some flight ... as was S O'D's all those years
ago!
Yeah, Shane McCaffery is another from those days who STILL goes pretty well.
SunrasiaGC once had (maybe still has) a Donga Award. I think Butch Buchanan
(another ex SGC member) -as the Task Setter - was the first recipient. Does
anybody have the details?
Matthew Scutter, if you think Gawler is an underrated site, you have
obviously never flown out of Mildura on a big day. There is nothing like it
in Australia, and I suspect that only the two sites in Namibia and maybe one
or two in SA can match or better it. Ask your fellow club member Terry
Cubbley about his Mildura experiences if you want an eye opener.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Youngest 1000km pilot in AUS?
Hello All,
Just wondering what is the youngest age of an AUS pilot to complete a
1000km in AUS? Whether that be a FAI or OLC 1000km?
Keen to know, Matthew Scutter managed the feat out of Gawler very
recently, at age 19 (I think)!
Well done Matthew, looks like I've got some catching up to do over the
coming 25yrs...
