Notes:

The new VA GlobalFlyer turns off the runway after landing. To save weight, they didn't install flaps, and with the clean lines, it's real hard to slow down for landing, so they use drag chutes that are deployed in flight!

The new VA GlobalFlyer takes off for its first ever flight! Very early morning, so light wasn't that great, but hey, this is history in the making!

The new VA GlobalFlyer taxis out for its first ever flight! Nice visability from the cockpit there! Would you want to sit in this 88 hours all the way around the globe??
