It’s late January in the Kerio Valley, and it’s another WORLD RECORD. Breaking two Out and Return distance records in one flight. Free flight, and to a declared turn point in Tandem
Flying for 9 1/2 hours covering a total 211km, with my main man Evans. Co-pilot, wind spotter and legendary support man. Would not have been able to do it without him.
Kerio provides again…
The records claimed are Out-and-return distance – Multiplace and Free out-and-return distance – Multiplace.
