GlobalFlyer 'Round The World Solo Flight Takes Off
bryanthompson writes "The Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer took off from the Salina Municipal Airport this evening at about 6:47 CST. The Salina Airport was chosen for its central location, and the fact that it is one of the few air strips long enough for the flyer to take off successfully. The trip around the world is expected to take about 80 hours, with speeds averaging 285 mph. The craft was designed for Sir Richard Branson by Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites, who also designed SpaceShipOne." Steve Fossett is piloting the craft, intended (as reader aallan puts it), "to be the first solo non-stop flight around the world without refuelling."
I bet Steve Fossett doesn't have to take off his belt and shoes before HE flies...I don't know why the TSA thinks I am going to whip out a pipe bomb and screech something about the glory of God before tossing a stick at them. If I had know nerdy skinny guys were considered this much of a threat I would have tried to bully the hockey players in my high school.
