Around the World in 67 Hours

Chicago millionaire Steve Fossett set yet another world record Thursday as he completed the first ever non-stop solo flight around the world. In spite of fears he was low on fuel, he conitinued on and completed his mission when he touched down in Salina, Kansas a little more than 67 hours after taking off from the same airfield.

His around the world flight is only the latest of many adventured for the 60 year old. Previously, he has swum the English Channel, driven in the 24 Hours of LeMans auto race, raced the Iditarod dog sled race, hot air balooned around the world and sailed around the world among other amazing feats.

And some 60 year old millionaires would be content to play golf...
