5 hours of the Condor ?
LOL!
I wonder if that 100 miles is a somewhat linear distance between points A and B, or just elapsed distance as it circled some home territory.
If the former, that's really impressive, to be navigating currents sufficient to sustain flight, distance, and likely altitude.
Still, they pale in comparison to the greater albatrosses, with wingspans of ~12' and cover several hundred miles in a day, almost never flapping their wings.
