...well done to Steve Fossett For breaking the record for long-distance flying without refuelling, I was slightly amused by this quote from Yahoo news...

"We told him he had to land alive," said his billionaire friend and sponsor Richard Branson, who flew behind him in a chase plane on the final leg.

"He actually had to land alive, because if he didn't land alive he wouldn't get the record."

Do you think that was really on his mind as he tried to land safely?
