Posted by samzenpus on from the never-coming-down dept.

nsasch writes "The Global Flyer just wasn't enough for Steve Fossett. He's going again, this time to make the world's longest (in length) flight, ever. He is currently over the Atlantic ocean and can be tracked online. He will be flying for 3 days with 18000 pounds of fuel (~8164 kilograms). More information, tracking, Microsoft Flight Simulator models, and background images are available from Virgin Atlantic."

    "...the world's longest (in length) flight, ever."

    As opposed to longest in...not length? Thanks for clearing that up!
