I thought CNN put it best the other day:
"If Fossett succeeds on this quest, his personal achievement will be significant. But its impact on aviation history will be limited since the era of barrier-breaking aviation records -- Charles Lindbergh's New York-to-Paris flight and Wiley Post's around-the-world flight -- has long passed, said Bob van der Linden, a curator at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.
"Being able to stay up there and stay alert, being able to do that is terrific, but it's not going to change the world," van der Linden said. "The new barrier, that's spaceflight, because you're pushing the edges of the unknown. Aviation is pretty well-known now."
When I was up at FlightSafety Teterboro in Falcon 50EX training I was talking with one of the program managers. He told me that Fossett has been up there a few times to get some Falcon training since he owns one.User997 said:I really wish this media-wh0re would just go away and leave us alone.
