Our intrepid billionaire on his way?

How about wave, maybe he'll set that altitude record solo after all!
It looks like there might be some wave clouds east of the Big Island!

That would sure make for some great headlines!

Would it still qualify for the around the world record?

Running out of gas. He'll need to stop and thermal a few times.

Appears that he is feet dry over SoCal...

So looks like he'll be flying fairly close to Colorado Springs.
Unfortunately, the live tracking page is providing totally bogus info.

Coordinates a E5.19129 N31.38990

Longitude is totally busted and latitude puts him south of Tucson, yet
the map has him near Flagstaff.

Too bad, as I'd like to add this to my portfolio of "record sightings".
The Voyager flew over my house on departure and I attended the landing
at Edwards.

Hm, looks like yet another web glitch. I've had a Firefox window open
for a couple days and it seems only the map updates. Opend a IE window
and coordinates are now much better.

Can't say I'm impressed with this web page, not up to standard you would
expect of such a crowd of people?

Over China...halfway around....

Hi,

Can't say I'm impressed with this web page

Propably going down under excessive load. I have not been able to get an
update since he made dry land. Also the update interval has increased from
"every minute, map every 5 minutes" to "every 3 minutes, map every 20
minutes".

Someone underestimated the public interest after all.

Ciao, MM
