Globalflyer Makes It.
Well the wacko, Steve Fossett, made it, landing back in Salina, Kansas at about 1949GMT, or 1:49PM CST. In spite of a problem about fuel, they went for it and became the first solo flight around the world without refueling and the longest flight by a jet aircraft without refueling.
Better than expected tailwinds made the flight possible.
