Record distance
He landed shortly after 1700 GMT after 76 days and 45 minutes in the cockpit.
I thought it took him less time than that

200 U.S. Gallons of fuel left, windshield frosted over, 2 blown tires and a failed generator. Hey no problem. All in a days work. Glad he's down safely and in one piece.
