NX71MY (cn 01) This aircraft piloted by Steve Fossett with co-pilot Mark Rebholz succesfully completed a non-stop crossing of the Atlantic on July 20th, re-creating the epic first crossing by Alcock and Brown in June 1919. The flight lasted 18 hrs 15 minutes. It is seen here at the De Havilland Moth Rally where it was a guest. |

NX71MY (cn 01) Steve Fossett gives the signal and the roll forward begins. Largest biplane flying today. From Bombardier Aerospace (Toronto) to Ottawa, then finally to Newfoundland and then its transatlantic crossing! The Vimy, a WW I bomber became the first plane to fly across the Atlantic non-stop in 1919! |

N377SF (cn 750-0068) Steve Fossett's Citation X on the apron at Minden-Tahoe Airport. Mr. Fossett is in town gaining experience in flying gliders in the wave for his record setting attempt in Omarama, New Zealand. The current altitude record in a glider is 49,009 ft. MSL. Mr. Fossett hopes to eventually reach an altitude of 100,000 ft. MSL using mountain and stratospheric wave. If you search for N877SF, you will see one of the Stemme S-10 motorgliders that Mr. Fossett is using to explore the wave over the Sierra Nevadas. |

N71Z (cn TC-245) A Metroliner parked at Minden-Tahoe Airport. This plane is registered to Suncoast Media Inc. Could it be that they are in town to film Steve Fossett's attempts to set a new altitude record in a glider? I don't know, merely speculation. |
