GlobalFlyer aims to set solo around-the-world record
Steve Fossett prepares to launch the Virgin Atlantic funded GlobalFlyer from Salina Municipal Airport in Kansas for a nonstop around the world flight. He will fly a single-engine jet with about 18,000 pounds of fuel and diet milk shakes for sustenance. The mission, chosen for Salina’s 12,300-foot runway and central location, targets a stay under 66 hours and ends Thursday morning. Branson says the feat will put Salina on the map alongside Kitty Hawk in aviation history.
