1000Km in a Ka6e is even more impressive.

I'm interested to know more about the standard class 1000k out and

if an Astir wasn't impressive enough, in April??
Does anyone know where or how it was done? Perhaps someone has the
relevant AG mag.
Having done some googling I find an account ("Soaring the bald eagle
ridge") of a George Vakkur flying 1000k out and return on 7/4/77 in an
Astir CS in the wave in Pennsylvania, USA which seems like too much of
a coincidence to me.
