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 ;D ;D

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.
