    Noteworthy accomplishment to say the least. I wish I had a billionaire friend that would let me do stuff like that.
    I would imagine that he has some sort of auxiliary bladder...little john? LOL

    He lived on juice and milk while flying and then reused the bottles. A great feat, but not on par with what Lindberg did.

    "He lived on milk while flying and reused the bottles" - Just like the original "Aviator" - Howard Hughes...
    I didn't realize until this morning that Fossett is a billionaire in his own right,
    from option training.
    Giving a billionaire a champagne shower seems kind of redundant to me...

    Big freakin deal......... Not to take away from anything he did but if I had millions in disposable income I could devote my time and energy to setting a few I'm sure. Great feat of endurance i guess but as stated before nothing compared to Lindberg or even the two people who did it before him togoether not solo, with almost 25 year old technology...... Great for him but who really cares. Yippie lets all praise the billionaire tycoon..... :yuk: :yuk: :yuk: I prefer when a normal person of normal means makes an accomplishment himself. Fosset flew the plane but the real record setters are the ones who built and developed and supported the whole deal .... where are their names in the record books.....

    Bryan, you are kinda sour grapes here. Whats your problem? Young or old, rich or poor, that was a great accomplishment. Some records only multimillionairs or above will set, some records can be set by the poorest of poor. I even held a record once and it wasn't done with cubic dollars but a little skill and cunning...
