    Steve Fossett.

    Fosset just flew, by himself, around the world, nonstop.
    It took him 67 hours....

    Not bad for a guy who really hasn't done much with his life....

    Congratulations!!!

    I wonder what he puts down as a job....

    Adventurer? Sailor? Pilot? World Record Holder?

    LOL,

    I guess there is hope for people who don't have a regular job...

    Looks like they found the wreckage of his plane in the mountains of California.

    Just read the news.

    I guess it's actually a relief for his family to know what has happened. Not to know must have been awful. The article I read said that his wife/widow is hoping they'll find his body, so she can bury him...

    Yeah.

    I love men with stories like his. Richard Branson, Felix Baumgartner, Dick Rutan and Will Steger. All are athletes, explorers, gamblers and the last set of crazy people who see things that haven't been done and then do them.

    I was sad when Sir Edmund Hillary died.

    Now it's for money, fame and noteriety.


    God bless him and his family!

    Even though he was declared legally dead in February, it's good in a way that the wreckage was found so his family knows for sure what happened.

    I think an angel must have led the hiker to that spot, in order for the family to receive some comfort and closure.
