Costa in Lisbon (breakfast), Flemming and Angela Pedersen in Aigle

July 19, 2008:
Slowly-but-surely marathon pilot Bob Gannon, who recently returned to the USA with his faithful Lucky Lady 2 but refused to go to his point
of departure in order to avoid 'closing the circle' just yet, has just completed a gruelling 13-hour flight across the North Pole.
He left from Eureka, Canada and battled icy storms and Polar Bear winds before landing in Longyearbyen, Norway.
Now northern Europe entices him with his own special version of aviation-exploration. Although he has flown to more
places than any other mortal has ever read about, he doesn't consider the job done yet, and estimates that his RTW
will take another 2-3 years to complete!

This time, she is taking a co-pilot and aiming to break the round-the-world record for single-engine aircraft, by making the flight start-to-finish in just seven days.
Garratt and teammate Carol Foy, a past winner of the Air Race Classic, plan to launch this December. They are paying all of their own expenses,
