Didnt even know anything about tha flight around the world Embarassed

but the flyer looks like a design of Burt Rutan.

The round windows and the light weight looking thin fuselage...I am 99% certain it is his aircraft.

The whole Virgin publicity and Richard Branson shaking the man's hand makes me sick. I only just returned from holiday so this is all a huge exciting shock for me! I must look at that site.

Well, there arent too many firsts in my lifetime, but the most significant ones technologically are sweet memories for my future retirement. First man on the moon, first land vehicle to break sound barrier, and now this....I feel good.
