the greatest gliding pilot in the world !

Steve Fossett is being haled by Richard Branson as "the greatest aviator in the world, he's also the greatest gliding pilot in the world" If you're quoting the Guardian story I'd be wary of what it says: Paragraph 2: "after taking off from a private airstrip Monday in an ordinary twin-engine plane" Paragraph 4: "Fossett's plane, a Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon" Spot the inconsistency! The Grauniad not only can't spell, it doesn't check facts either! Given the technology he was carrying I find the chance of him being alive remote. It is odd that neither ELT has been heard. I hope they find him alive. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
