| Chris Christiansen, e-mail, 09.02.2013 06:17 True.... its flight path was within the Northern Hemisphere, but flew as close to the equator as weather and safety conditions would allow. The Earth's equatorial circumference
is 24,901 miles. Voyager flew a confirmed 25,012 miles.
Most would agree that warrants an "around the world" claim.

| Roy Tuason, e-mail, 03.11.2011 11:52 As a technician with Hexcel I attended a company meeting for Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in 1987. What a flight milestone! They described their flight and some harrowing experiences. Hexcel honeycomb held the Voyager together.

| Paul, e-mail, 06.10.2010 00:22 Watched Dick and Jeana come home to Edwards after that loooong flight. What a wonderful experience even from the ground.
(I've got a VHS video I took of the landing someplace.)
Good memories...

| Jim Fackler, e-mail, 25.01.2010 01:59 The scraping of the wings was not due to wiggle in the wings. The Voyager has three main landing gear and they pumped up the main struts because of the flight weight causing negative AOA during takeoff. The wingtips were driven into the runway!

|
| Richard Lee, e-mail, 02.06.2009 08:16 Voyager would make a wonderful scale rubber powered model aircraft.
Is there a good 3-view anywhere?
