New World Record for longest glide
Just read in MX newspaper this afternoon that a new world record has been set in New Zealand for the longest flight by a glider.
From what I caught of the article, the flight time lasted 15 hours and covered well in excess of 2000km. I will try and put up a link to any news feed regarding the story if I find one. cheers
