I'm ready to ship off to Vegas. Nice link there, cool photos. The page opens slowly, even on my fast connection, there's a lot of photos on it, so that's why.

No stops on that flight, but he did refuel twice a day from a truck on the ground, so he would have had to slow down and keep a steady very low altitude, from what I see in the refueling pict, a feat in itself, I guess, for the pilot and truck driver too.

Cool.
