"On December 19, Boettger and co-pilot Bruce Campbell set two records and fulfilled a 40-year dream by flying 1,112 miles between Minden Tahoe Airport and Dodge City, Kansas in a glider."
"After a sleepless night Dec. 19, Boettger and Campbell turned up at the hangar on Minden-Tahoe Airport around 1 a.m. in order to launch at 2 a.m."
Note: the two glider pilots used night vision goggles for the first several hours of their flight.
