Crossing the Atlantic

I saw this on the Web and found it interesting:

Do you think it was all programed into the GPS, or did it have some direct communication to correct its course in flight?

As far as I know, it has been struck off the record books as a model aircraft so I guess that record is still up for grabs

Comment by Jack Crossfire on June 1, 2009 at 3:12pm: OK, it's the same Atlantic crossing from 2003 making another round through the blogs, not a new development. It's like how every 8 years, a new generation discovers the dancing baby video.

Moderator Comment by Sgt Ric on June 1, 2009 at 3:24pm: Yes, this has been blogged here at DIYDrones before, but I always confuse the Maynard Hill and the Aerosonde crossings.

Still not sure how both can be the first!
