Another delay has hit Steve Fossett's quest for the Ultimate Flight. The take off which was scheduled for today, has been canceled due to a fuel leak. According to the Global Flyer website the leak is a "fairly simple thing to fix but it will take around 24 hours because it requires fuel sealant material." Weather conditions should hold for the rest of the week and the mission is listed at code Yellow through February 11.
