Of course this was the first non-stop crossing.

He'll be back again at the end of the month. He spent a year or more getting ready for this flight but he is most definately solo. There is no team following him offering support, no camera crew or book deal. He's just having fun.

PS - apologies to any hypersocial engineers out there, we've clearly yet to meet.
