 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Aviation adventurer Steve Fossett says he isn't sure he'll succeed in his quest to break the 20-year-old record for the longest flight.
First, there's the combustible danger of taking off with thousands of pounds of fuel attached to a very light aircraft. Then there's the unpredictability of weather and worries about running out of fuel.
"It will be very close," Fossett said Monday at a news conference accompanied by Richard Branson, whose company, Virgin Atlantic, is sponsoring the flight.
