Dodged Muggers and Terrorists, Overcame Bureaucrats, Set Record
-- Beaten by Monsoon

We just got the word that the Global Eagle world flight came to
an end -- in October. At Aero-News we were pummeled this way and
that by the events of 2004, and we didn't get the press release. We
don't think there was a press release, actually, as the demoralized
Global Eagle team trickled back to their day jobs. So it was news
to us, and no one had mentioned it at the rotary forum.com web site
(where I hang out sometimes), so we reckon it's probably news to
you, too.
