GLIDING - JS1 - 750K - 145 KPH - SOUTH AFRICA 2019

A hyperlapse of roughly [1/3,1/2] if [0,1] represents the whole flight.
My first return with Anders' JS1 Revelation since I flew it last five years ago.
This part of the flight was probably the toughest one, which can be seen from the relatively low altitudes on the OLC link below.
Conditions as usual got stronger in the afternoon, and returning the airspace above us was limited to FL145 with bases at FL150-160 encountered outside the airspace. I encountered very strong thermal lift from beautiful cu (see • Why you should go glid... ) with a few light showers. Even though the last few thermals (from 100 km out) were in the blue, but still quite strong and still higher than airspace.
Anders did the Danish national 750 out and return record that day in his 15 m JS3 Rapture super ship. Congratulations! Tjat is the reason for Anders to comment on his altitude: To qualify for the record, he has to finish not less than 1000 m below his starting altitude.
A 1000 k OLC was done by Damian from the UK that day.
