Pilot Sets 37.2 Mile Eagle Flight Record
Tremml pedaled a 37.2 mile Eagle flight to set a record, surpassing Lois McCalla’s 10 mile closed course mark and the 2 minute world record from 1979. He described the effort as nearly as demanding as a prior competition, with weather favorable but water bag issues and a fogged wind screen impacting visibility. Flight ops director Steven Bussolan noted the achievement from a chase vehicle as Tremml logged the distance around 9 am.
