Steve Fossett before his flight in February 2006
Description Pilot Steve Fossett talks to the media about the reason the takeoff of the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer was postponed. Behind Fossett is Sir Richard Branson, chairman and founder of Virgin Atlantic. Behind both is the GlobalFlyer aircraft. Fossett will pilot the GlobalFlyer on a record-breaking attempt by flying solo, non-stop without refueling, to surpass the current record for the longest flight of any aircraft. Fossett was expected to take off from the KSC SLF before the takeoff was postponed due to the fuel leak that appeared in the last moments of loading. The next planned takeoff attempt is 7 a.m. Feb. 8 from the SLF
