LONELY VIRGIN TO CIRCLE THE GLOBE
That provocative title refers to a truly cool project I discovered today. Virgin Airlines founder Sir Richard Branson is financing the design, construction and flight of the The Global Flyer, yet another Burt Rutan creation that is intended to circle the world without refuleing, with only a sole pilot (unlike Rutan's previous unrefeuled powered plane, that did the trick with two on board). Check it out -- it's a beautiful plane and a very cool idea.
