Meanwhile, Global Flyer Still Being Prepped In Kansas
It looks like Steve Fossett's nonstop, solo flight around the
world in the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer jet may finally get off
the ground at the end of the week. Fossett and Virgin Chairman
Richard Branson announced Monday that improved flight conditions
may allow for the record flight to launch on Friday, February 25,
or Saturday, February 26, subject to ground, weather and jet stream
conditions.
