Steve Fosset is flying solo around the world

Steve Fosset goes solo flying again. Last time he was the first person to fly solo around the world in a balloon.  This time he is is flying solo, non-stop, without refueling around the world in the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer made by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites.



Flying solo for 66 hours is impressive. Check out the status on the Mission Tracking page. It shows the current position and even has a live cockpit video feed (Requires Real Player). At the time of writing, Steve is passing over Japan.
