Just a heads-up (wasn't sure where to put this): Steve Fossett is currently engaged in an attempt to become the first person to fly around the world unrefueled while solo. The plane was built by none other than Burt Rutan. He's currently approaching the coast of Morocco; here's his current position, altitude, speed, etc.: http://www.virginatlanticglobalflyer.com/M...ntrol/Tracking/
