Dick Rutan, aviator and adventurer, made "the world's longest flight" in the airplane "Voyager", the first airplane to circumnavigate the globe without refueling. In realizing his dream, with desire and determination, Dick successfully completed the mission which would earn him world records, international fame and a place in the Smithsonian Institute.

On the morning of December 14, 1986, a fuel-laden Voyager took off on the history making flight. Nine days, three minutes and forty-four seconds later, Dick set the storm-battered Voyager down on the dry lakebed at Edwards AFB in California, successfully completing a six year quest.
