Epic Flight on a Sting 3 168
On the 12/12/2012 Allan McMillan flew his 3 year old Sting 3 168 from Mount Borah, Manilla (NSW Australia) to Walgett with a dog leg. Interesting to see Allan and his Airborne Sting 3 are coming 3rd in the International contest for hangliders distance comp and 1st in the Australian distance comp. The last time any one flew further than him from Mt Borah that has uploaded a track log was in 2007 in a topless glider, the pilot an Austrian.
You can see Allan’s tracklog here:

It shows a distance of 254.46 kms (158 miles) That’s a great effort on any glider. To do it on a Sting – Awesome!
Congratulations Allan
