Long Soaring Flights
Information received by SSA indicates that the following noteworthy soaring flights have been made in recent weeks:
On March 31st, Paul A. Wilson soared an L-K sailplane 197.15 mi. from Winfield, Kansas, to Scott Field, Okla., in four hours to claim Gold distance, Diamond goal and four Kanses state soaring records: distance and goal, both in the Senior and Open, single-place classes.
On April 15th, Dale S. May soared his Fauvette sailplane 204 miles from Naperville, Ill., to Olney, Ill. to claim Gold distance and Diamond goal.
On the same day from the same place, Harold Jensen soared his LO-150 sailplane 435 miles to Hohenwald, Tenn., to claim new Illinois state and Danish single-place open distance records. He was airborne 7:45 hr. and had 4,500 ft. over Hohenwald but faced bad terrain. This was his first serious try of the season to start the "1000 kilometer (621.4 mi,) Club." He is the fourth pilot to have exceeded 400 miles in the U.S.

The Argentine magazine Aeronautica reports that the federal government is figuring heavily in proving adequate equipment and transportation for the Championships. Polish Zephir and Foka sailplanes have been purchased for use of the Argentine team and 24 Ka-6's and 12 Bergfalkes for lending to foreign competitors. These sailplanes will be assigned to the host country's local soaring clubs after the Championships, in proportion to their "sporting merits."
