U.S. adventurer Steve Fossett says he has last-minute nerves as he prepares an attempt on the "last great aviation record" by piloting an airplane alone around the world without refueling or stopping. If the skies remain clear the 60-year-old former investor will take off Monday from Salina, Kansas, in the single-jet-engined Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, loaded with more than four times its own weight in fuel. Over the 65 hours the challenge is expected to take, Fossett will fly to Europe and the Middle East, over Asia and the Pacific, and back to Kansas. If he succeeds, he will make history but if he fails, his life is in serious danger. # posted by masquerader @ 00:55 ::
