On 28 August 2018 the Perlan 2 soared above 65,000 feet pressure altitude breaking their own record in 48 hours! Chief Pilot Jim Payne and Pilot/FTE Miguel Iturmendi flew over Patagonia with Lago Argentina visible below the left wing. The high point is about 1 minute into the video just before the right turn towards the sun. Music compliments of Ed Kilbourne (also a glider pilot). For more info go to
