FIRST NONSTOP TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT RE-ENACTED BY STEVE FOSSETT

Close to 2000 people were anticipating a triumphant welcome of American millionaire Steve Fossett and his copilot Mark Rebholz, at the time of their landing on to a golf course in Clifden, on the west side of Ireland.
 
Aboard the replica of an old biplane, the two aviators repeat with success, the first nonstop transatlantic flight, achieved 86 years ago.
 
The 14 of June 1919, 8 years before Charles Lindbergh, the british pilots, John Alcock and Arthur Whitten-Brown were in route for new land in the direction of Ireland aboard a Vicker's Vimy biplane.

The Americans  wished to repeat the histroric crossing as faithfully as possible.
 
They arrivied at the destination a little more than 17 hours later, so be it, 20 minutes longer than the pioneers of aviation who they admired so much.
