I thought there were meant to be three of them, what happened to the third? A great trip, even if their choice of name is a little odd!
Although, it seems to be breaking down worrying often, their blog suggests...I hope they get the bugs ironed out soon, before anything serious happens.

The third one just got married and wanted to spend time with his wife. At least, that's what it said in one of their press releases from july.
Indeed, their technical problems with their airplane are quite original. Deflating elevator (! ?), stuck/broken mixture cable and a lazy autopilot.

I hear that after a few more technical problems, they finally gave up somewhere in Asia following an engine fire.
Who on Earth signed that thing off as airworthy? :eek:
