On September 30, we had some exceptional guest from the USA – Jim Payne and his wife Jaqueline came along with Reiner Rose (OLC) to our company for half a day.
Jim has flown many spectacular record flights over the Sierra Nevada with his Arcus M over the last couple of years. Two highlights from his last record flight on April 5th, 2015 were a total distance over 3000 km and 1000 km in under 4 hours! As the chief pilot of the Perlan 2 project, he made the first flight with this stratospheric sailplane in the US at the end of September. Anyone who is interested in the reports of his flights and projects should not miss his speech at the OLC finale in Gersfeld at the Wasserkuppe.
