After nine days and four minutes in the sky, the experimental
aircraft Voyager landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California, completing the first nonstop flight around the globe on one load
of fuel.

Piloted by Americans Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, Voyager was
made mostly of plastic and stiffened paper and carried more than
three times its weight in fuel when it took off from Edwards Air
Force Base on December 14. By the time it returned, after flying
25,012 miles around the planet, it had just five gallons of fuel left
in its remaining operational fuel tank.

The crew: Dick Rutan and friend Jeanna Yeager.
