Epic glider flight from Harris Hill in Elmira

Noah Reitter spends over 7 hours in the air over three states

From the Harris Hill Soaring Corporation,

How far can you fly in a glider at Harris Hill? How about 1033km 641 miles!

On Friday 3/29 with strong winds out of the NW Harris Hill member Noah Reitter set off on a task that would take him down to the Maryland border twice!

After a 60 mile leg to the south via thermals he connected with the Appalachian ridges in central Pa. near Williamsport. Running the ridges to Cumberland Maryland and back to Williamsport TWICE before landing at Jersey Shore PA. A 7:18 hr flight. Outstanding job!
