The Rutan Voyager aircraft landed at Edwards Air Force Base, Edwards, California, to complete its record breaking, nonstop unfueled flight around the world at 8:06 a.m. PST December 23, 1987, after a nine-day flight. The 9-day, 3-minute, 44-sec. flight nearly doubled the previous distance record set in 1962 by a USAF/Boeing B-52H.
