Fossett and his navigator/co-pilot Mark Rebholz left Toronto today in the

flight.


Are they also intending to recreate the "landing" in the Irish peat bog?


Apparently they have permission to land on a golf course. I don't know what
type of surface they intend to choose.... a manicured fairway, or some boggy
rough????
