Oddly enough, I had been paying attention to that the whole time, but was pissed because I had to be away from my desk today at work and couldn't keep up with the landing and shit

just think, it was in the 30's that someone flew non-stop across the atlantic. it took more than 70 years for us to fly non-stop around to world.

The first nonstop global flight without refueling was made in 1986 by Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, brother of GlobalFlyer designer Burt Rutan

i bet chuck norris could've done it in 50 hours, 55 tops if he decides to sleep on autopilot because ninjas need their rest.

haha no thats cool, but did the guy sleep any? damn 67 hours of flying and no sleep that would totally be like driving at night coming home from an event, for 50 hours.
