Makes Fastest Helicopter Solo Flight Throughout Lower 48 U.S. States
British-Thai pilot Yosuke Chatmaleerat recently claimed a Guinness World Record title for traveling through all 48 contiguous states of the U.S. in record time: under 12 days. Beginning in Tallahassee on Sept. 25, Chatmaleerat traveled the east coast to Maine before heading west, southwest, north and east to cross through the U.S. several times, returning to Miami on Oct. 7. Chatmaleerat planned the trip for months and flew by himself, with no assistance. Guinness has already officially confirmed Chatmaleerat's record.
"This is the final critical step before the spacecraft is ready to be joined with the Space Launch System rocket for this first test flight in 2020. Our team at Plum Brook Station has been upgrading the Space Environments Complex to prepare for this test, and we are thrilled that it is here."
