	Dick Rutan, Jeana Yeager, and the Flight of the Voyager
		To many, Rutan and Yeager's flight represented the triumph of human ingenuity as the two aviators overcame a wide range of aerodynamic, financial, physical, and psychological challenges.
		Yeager and Rutan had to endure severe physical and mental demands during their trip.
		Rutan and Yeager completed their journey when they touched down at Edwards Air Force Base at 8:06 a.m.

		Its pilots, Yeager and Rutan, were chasing the last great powered flight milestone left - an around-the-world flight on a single tank of gas.
		Like the balloonists, Yeager and Rutan were denied access to air space, not by China, but by Libya, whose leader Muammar al-Qaddafi felt little need to grant Americans a chance to bask in accomplishment.
		Yeager and Rutan handled the situation coolly, yet the re-routing of their flight around Libya cost them precious fuel.

	piercingwit: Around the world in 9 days
		Piloted by Americans Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, Voyager was made mostly of plastic and stiffened paper and carried more than three times its weight in fuel when it took off from Edwards Air Force Base on December 14.
		Rutan and Yeager shared the controls, but Rutan, a more experienced pilot, did most of the flying owing to the long periods of turbulence encountered at various points in the journey.
		Then, to the cheers of 23,000 spectators, the plane landed safely with a few gallons of fuel to spare, completing the first nonstop circumnavigation of the earth by an aircraft that was not refueled in the air.

		If it is successful, the flight would eclipse the previous distance record for an aircraft not refuelled in flight, set in 1986 by Dick Rutan and Jeanna Yeager in an aircraft called Voyager.
		The distance record for an aeroplane flight set by Rutan and Yeager was 40,212 kilometres (25,000 miles).
