Re: [EVDL] article: Tomorrow an electric plane will fly the English Channel for the first time

Certainly crossing half of the Pacific beats the hell out of crossing the Channel, though. --Rick On 07/09/2015 08:39 PM, Cor van de Water via EV wrote: What about the solar plane that is making a trip around the world?
