2010 December 3 ... Congratulations to John Slifer (a.k.a. YP, a.k.a. Santa Claus) for completing not one, but two 500K (311 mile) flights along the Sequatchie and Lookout Mountain ridges this fall! The accompanying photo was taken of John beside his ASW-20 on the runway at Marion County Airport near Jasper, Tennessee. Either flight would have qualified for Diamond Distance had the battery in John's EW Microrecorder not failed in flight twice. The first attempt was made on November 26th and the second a week later. So we offer John condolences as well as congratulations. The third time is the charm, John!
