Don Harris had a 3 1/2 hour flight at the first Wood Crafters event in 2002. WC has always had the Longest flight event and what makes it work is the entries are limited to one entry per ch. This allows pilots to fly at will. Other Woody contests in the east have had the same task. I think it is a neat event to get LSF Achievement duration goals completed.
The Woody only 2005 New Years Postal contest task is the longest flight....... SOAR's Richard Burnoski and Eric Stenson have entered this year's Postal.
