Steve fosset still had some more money to do fun things... seems to look like he will do all three famous Vimy flights

Glad to hear they made it. I wouldn't have fancied the sailing properties of the Vimy replica!

I'm sure that replica already been used to do the other two in the mid and late 90s...

Does this guy just hate being with his family or something?

If he didnt crash on "landing", it isn't a a true recreation!

But why do things that have already been done before? What's the point? The balooning was much more interesting...
