 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Aviation record-setter Steve Fossett thought he had his aircraft's fuel leak problem licked. But it foiled his plans Tuesday morning, stopping his takeoff on a planned round-the-world flight.
Fossett hoped to try again early Wednesday. His goal is to break a 20-year-old distance record by flying his experimental airplane about 27,000 miles nonstop over 3 1/2 days.
"This is disappointing, but we've been through this before," Fossett said after aborting his flight Tuesday morning.
