Well Corky that depends on whether or not it is a Saturday nite.

Just reading the thread in a casual manner I kept seeing
Sir Richard Branson and Steve Fossett's name being mentioned
and I couldn't quite figure out where the solo part was.

With the ego and money those two have it will be interesting to
see who the solo pilot is and who gets to sit on the ground and watch.

Maybe they're both going: one as pilot and one as passenger.

Don't have the magazine in front of me and to lazy to go get it from

It did say that 'one' (Branson???) was the "back up" pilot.
