Steve Fossett Quotes

This is a Solo Flight, but I want aviation enthusiasts and adventurers everywhere to join me in the endeavour.

Flying solo, you have a fair workload. I'm not only flying the balloon but doing the navigation, communications, repairing the burners, taking care of the equipment.

The good thing about flying solo is it's never boring.

I was never comfortable with the risk of climbing in the Himalayas, or the amount of time in idleness that is involved in the Everest expedition.

Mountain climbing was my original sport ... and I've never tired from the satisfaction of getting to the top of a mountain.

I do have some books, but in all the distance flights I've made I've never opened the books. I've been too busy.
