Default Global Flyer arrives at Smithsonian

Finally got enough of a heads up to get over and actually watch
an artifact arrive under it's own power. Fossett was the first
to fly around the world solo non-stop non-refueled. The Udvar-Hazy center
(the musueums Dulles center) already has two pioneering around
the world panes:

Wiley Post first flew solo around the world in the Lockheed Vega
"Winnie Mae". And Jerri Mock became the first woman to fly solo
around the world in a Cessna 180 "The Spirit of Columbus." The
Voyager which Rutan & Yeager flew as the first round the world
non-stop non-refuled is at the downtown branch of the musuem.

I put some quick copies of the photos I took on my webpage
