Alcock and Brown re-creation by Fossett

Fossett and his navigator/co-pilot Mark Rebholz left Toronto today in the
replica Vickers Vimy on the first leg to position at St. John's Newfoundland
for the cross-Atlantic try on June 14, 86th? anniversary of original flight.

I didn't see the take-off but am sure that it will be on the 6-o'clock news
tonight.

Saw an early morning TV report with the motors running and mechanics
tweaking things. Looks like a sweet machine. Hope things go well...
