| #4 Anyone know how much fuel Steve actually had left? Did 2600 lbs of fuel leak out or was it a sensor problem? |

| #2 Down and safe. Man, once that plane got down into ground effects, it just kept floating. I thought it would never land. |

| #1 Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett flew over the Kansas-Colorado border Thursday morning, roughly close enough to Salina to glide to a landing without power and safely complete his nonstop, solo, around-the-world flight. "I'm really starting to perk up, now realizing that I'm getting close to the end," Fossett said earlier in the day after crossing into U.S. airspace over Los Angeles. Fossett is expected back in the central Kansas town around 1:20 p.m., a feat that would make him the first person to circumnavigate the globe alone without stopping or refueling. |
