Well, the most dangerous part of the flight is over = the take off fully
loaded with fuel seems successful.
Hope you guys can catch a recording of the flight, as the flightpath lies
far from my QTH.
Very exciting!

seems one of the most difficult things will be NOT running out of fuel

I was lucky enough to get a recording of Dick Rutan and Jeanna Yeager in
Voyager passing over Central Africa in December 1986 on their world record
breaking flight. A very difficult task in those days as technology was
nowhere near as advanced as it is today.

Sure hope one of you can get a recording of GlobalFlyer - let us know if
you do
