Steve Fossett left Salina in the Global flyer aircraft Tues evening and returned to the Salina Airport Thursday at about 1:30. He had traveled around the world solo and without refueling for22,867 Miles and he had 1500 pounds of fuel left. It was an amazing effort and Salina was anxiously holding its collective breath until he landed. He was helped by a strong wind current, especially from Japan to Hawaii. see the Guardian reporters Blog.
