What to do, why and where to go when aiming for 2000km are covered in high definition. HD=1280x720, iPhone=480x270, running time=32:18.

Thanks Gordon and Kemp. Grea to see the flight taken apart phase by phase.
Thanks Joe, we really wanted to document this in a way that a pilot would easily and clearly appreciate and could use. Everyone needs to take more pictures and put them together in a format like this for their own use!
Congratulations on a fantastic Wave Flight, Gordon! Great job on the documentory video, Kemp! Enjoyed every minute of it! I can certainly use this to teach about wave flying. It also brought back memories of just how cold it is at 25,000 ft in a glider!
