Model plane makes Atlantic crossing

Yesterday, around 1400 hours local, a model plane landed in Ireland having taken off from Newfoundland some 39 hours earlier...

More details here...

The flight covered a distance of around 1883 miles and I hear it landed with only 2oz of fuel left.

A fantastic achievement and congrats to all concerned.
