Albuquerque pilots Maxie Anderson Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman rode at 5000 feet altitude traveling about 30 mph toward Brest France or London, seeking to be the first to complete the voyage. Weather forced a northern route and the team hopes to reach Europe by midweek, after earlier attempts ended in Iceland and previous crews’ fatalities.
