Hang Gliding World Record Distance flight - 760 KMs (> 470 miles)

By XC Triker

Categories: Cross Country / XC, Hang Gliders

A flight that breaks a World Record of 760kms. A story of two men setting history in hang gliders- Jonny Durand & Dustin Martin.
I was a bit bummed actually when they broke the record-- it was held for several years by my friend Mike Barber, but I've met Jonny and he's a really nice guy. I like his enthusiasm, it's fun. Man he thermals relaxed.

Mike Barber flew a distance of 704 km (437 mi) on June 19, 2002 also from Zapata Texas ("The World Record Encampment" ). They studied weather patterns the world over and found that in our back yard (middle of no where Zapata, Texas) conditions set up with winds moving air nearly straight northward from the Gulf Of Mexico, and cloud streets (rows of clouds) marking lift the whole way.
