Still looking good… looks like Global Flyer will arrive in Salina, KS around 11:20am Pacific Time. The photo caption from an ABC News article:

From an article in the Kansas City Star:

When asked if the Mission Control team had overplayed the seriousness of the fuel shortage, Branson replied: “Incredibly, the thing is, in life truth is often stranger than fiction.”

Branson said he had expected the flight would either be disastrous or boring but “everything that could have happened seems to have happened. There has been a lot of drama.”

Never a dull moment. Seems to be the Branson Way.
