-Chuck didn’t initially plan to go to Maine, originally scheduled for March. But, after that record attempt was delayed until April due to cold weather and the ice being 30 inches thick, tickets to the area’s small airport dropped in price and Zwilling decided to go. - McRecord | Dec 30 2018
Chuck Zwilling recalls a few memories from his visit...
About 1,400 augered holes
90 minutes for a full rotation
34” thick
11,000 tons (yes, 22 million lbs)
More than $8,000 raised for Meals on Wheels
It cost me almost exactly the same to fly into Presque Isle as it did to fly to Finland. And I was still an hour away. Thanks to Russ the pilot for the ride
Got to stay in a beautiful home thanks to Jeff and his wife
Very nice weather. Short sleeve for the most part.
Red weinie roast
A great fish house in the center thanks Voison
Fantastic helicopter stunts and rides
6.5% further across than the previous record
13% more surface area than the previous world Record
320% MORE WEIGHT than the previous world record
