Following Steve Fossett’s successful completion of the fastest, non-stop, non-refuelled flight around the world, we’d like you to see a great photo gallery of the preparation for the flight. You’ll see a lot of mid-air sequences of the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer in flight, along with individual photo’s of Steve Fossett, Jon Karkow/Test Pilot, Hanger photo’s and Steve Fossett with Sir Richard Branson. So surf, click and enjoy.
