Saudi Religious Police have Collective Stroke - Pilot was an Infidel American Woman A Boeing 777 plane has landed at Heathrow Airport after completing a record-breaking non-stop flight. Piloted by American captain Suzanna Darcy-Hennemann, the plane touched down in west London following a 12,000-mile easterly-heading flight from Hong Kong. The plane, carrying 35 passengers, beat the existing non-stop passenger airline record of 10,823 miles achieved by another Boeing 777. Painted in Boeing's distinctive blue colours, the aircraft touched down at 1.13pm UK time after a flight of 22 hours and 42 minutes. Three Heathrow fire crews shot a celebratory water spray over the aircraft as it taxied to a halt after a journey of 13,422 miles.  Suzanna Darcy-Hennemann Posted by: BigEd 2005-11-10 |
