New Out-and-Return-Records in Chile

Big congratulations to Tom Weissenberger - he set some new world records with his 353km Out-and-Return flight a week ago in Chile. He had been preparing this for about four years and had been faced with difficult flying, landing and weather conditions on the coast of Chile. This year he was successful!

Have a look at the film he brought back from the exhibition last year.
