Daniel Grunloh, Gold Colibri Award Qualifier
On November 5th 2006, Dan Grunloh completed a cross-country flight which qualifies him for the FAI Gold Colibri Award. The Colibri are a series of internationally recognized achievement awards for ultralight or microlight pilots. One of the things he had to do to earn the award, was fly a predicted cross-country flight of 850 miles in 4.5 days using only traditional navigation methods of pilotage and dead reckoning. No GPS was used. Dan talks about his experiences in what has become a rare kind of cross country flying. USUA Information on Dan's Gold Colibri
