GNC #1042 Solar Impulse Hawaii Bound - Geek News Central (Video)

June 30, 2015

The Solar Impulse Aircraft took off just about 1 day ago and is no on it's way to Hawaii which if all goes well I will be at the airport when it lands. I have been invited by the team to their press release and to interview the pilot. We will see what kind of craziness happens once they land in Hawaii on the 4th of July.
