Saturday and Sunday I made a flight of over nine hours and flew a total distance of 2,367 Kilometers, earning me the 2000 Kilometer Diploma rewarded by the Condor Club website. This was only a couple of days after doing my first 500 + Kilometer flight. The 500 Kilometer flight was an all thermal flight and I flew it on line so I was unable to pause and I finished in about 3:45. I started out the 2000 Km flight just to test the task, a 4000 Km task in the Canadian Rockies! I decided to keep flying it. At first I thought I would have to fly the whole thing in order for it to be a valid flight. As I flew, I had a lot of time to think and I suddenly realized that if I could fly over 2000 Km and land back at the takeoff airport, it would probably be considered a valid flight. Sure enough, that was true!
In a way, the 500 Km flight was more satisfying since I flew it online and it was an all thermal race with excellent thermals. My average time was a very respectable
