Record distance

He landed shortly after 1700 GMT after 76 days and 45 minutes in the cockpit.

I thought it took him less time than that Grin

200 U.S. Gallons of fuel left, windshield frosted over, 2 blown tires and a failed generator. Hey no problem. All in a days work. Glad he's down safely and in one piece.

LOL I know, I think the BBC in Saitek's link don't know that though!! Grin

Edit I copied and pasted from that link. I see now they have changed it. Just to make me look a fool Grin
