Are we seeing a new world record in the making?

Yes indeed,
I checked OZ last night and saw this, I got a beer and watched the last half hour... it was actually pretty exciting. The little icons that were Jonny and Dustin swapped leads about 3 times, in the end it was only a mile or two and they went on final glide together at 10,000' wingtip to wingtip.

looks like a record to me. A number of years ago, Mike Barber landed at La Mesa for 450 miles. Looks like they may have flown another 50 miles to east of Lubbock. Thursday also is looking good.
