Hi Netters
A little preliminary info on a potentially
historic event:
Last Friday, May 30, SAS captain Ole Arndt accomplished the first Danish 500 km distance flight in a PW-5
in just over 8 hours.
Start- and finish point was the Danish Soaring Centre in Arnborg.
First turnpoint was located near the Danish-German border, second
turnpoint near Aalborg and third turnpoint near Billund. If
approved, the flight will earn the happy pilot the SEK 50,000
prize (approx. USD 8,000) awarded by Scandinavian Airline
Systems. No such thing as challenges ....
Yours
