The Global Flyer Takes Off
Although it was predicted that it might be a few days
delayed, the Global Flyer took off this morning after all. Steve Fossett left
NASA Kennedy Space Center at 7:22am and is currently zooming around the world. He has spent the day flying over the
Atlantic and is currently approaching the African Coast. The takeoff was a bit bumpy as it took the aircraft a while to
lift off and two birds hit the aircraft. All seems to be going well currently but weather patterns could cause a bit of
a concern.
