i thought it was interesting how they were "missing" a good 2600 gallons of fuel towards the beggining but then realised that there was no leak and now with some extra tailwind help they might still make it fine
should be cool to see, the pilot has already aparently gone the furthest "distance without landing"
but yea good idea to post it for sure i still keep forgetting it's up there myself
