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

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! http://www.goes.noaa.gov/ha2.html That would sure make for some great headlines! Would it still qualify for the around the world record? wrote in message oups.com... Running out of gas. He'll need to stop and thermal a few times.

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. -Tom

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. -Tom
