Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer and its pilot Steve Fossett [attempt] to set a world record for the first solo, non-stop, non-refuelled circumnavigation of the world.

At 18:47 CST the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer took off on it's attempt to fly around the world without stopping. The flight should take about 80 hours. Virgin Atlantic (in an effort to get as much advertising as possible out of their investment) has set up a site to track the historic flight.
