I downloaded this from my new old Garmen 76s and loaded in into google earth and did a screen capture. Its about 90 minutes, 33.24 miles. Max altitude was over 5300 feet and maximum ground speed was about 55mph on a Falcon 2 225.

Nice save from near the bridge.

55 mph ground speed eh? Must have been windy and tailwind. Or you weigh a lot more than you look.

hehe. Yea. 55 mph does seem like a pretty fast ground speed for a Falcon style glider.
