Manfred in his magnificent flying machine. Manfred Looking ever so innocent Manfred has just broken the current world record flying his swift from Zapata county airport to Lovington airport, NM. With a total distance of 450 miles just a little bit further than he flew his flex wing in 2001. I am assuming Robin will be heading down to Texas now to try and get back his world record that he set this time last year flying 435 miles. Manfred just landed about 15 minutes ago and phoned Davis to let him know that he had just touched down and set a new world record. Congratulations Manfred on another world record.
