Enjoy :-) wiki: Voyager model 76 — the first aircraft flew non-stop polyvore the globe without refueling. Chief designer — Burt Rutan. The plane piloted Wild Routename, older brother of the designer, and Gina Yeager. The plane took off from the 4600-foot strip Edwards air force base in Mojave on 14 December 1986 and landed safely on it December 23, after 9 days, 3 minutes and 44 seconds. During the flight the aircraft broke 42 432 km (Fazaclo distance in 40 212 km) at the height of on average 3.4 km away. This record finally beat the previous set by the crew of the U.S. air force, piloting B-52 and overcame 12 532 miles (20 km 168) in 1962.
