Yes, Capt Wafoo made a good point there! Can somebody clarify the fact that this circumnavigation is made around 40°S Latitude, without crossing the equator!
As Wafoo said, this is far much less than the full earthrounders milage of 21600NM or 40000KM! About 16500NM i.s.o. 21600NM!
May be I'll try a tour around on the 89°N Latitude tommorow, might be done in an hour or so.....Just joking!
My question: What is the minimum milage needed to be in the record books as an earthrounder, be it balloon or aircraft? Think I read something about crossing the equator minimum twice or so....Anybody a clue?
By the way, Fosset's flight is of course very admirable, even at 40°S!
