Rutan Model 76 Voyager Experimental Aircraft was the first aircraft to fly around the world without stopping or refueling. It was piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager. The flight took off from Edwards Air Force Base's runway in the Mojave Desert on December 14, 1986, and ended 9 days later on December 23, setting a flight endurance record. This shortwave recording is a sample of some of the communications between Dick Rutan and his ground crew including a debate if Dick should walk out of the aircraft after it lands.

Note: Best estimate for date of recording is December 22, 1986

A recording of the English programme from Radio Berlin International, made on 1st July 1990, the day of economic unification of East and West Germany, three months before political reunification (which also meant the end of RBI itself). Changes on 1st July included the end of border controls, the introduction of the Deutschmark into the GDR and a farewell to the Ostmark, all of which are covered in the broadcast. Some of the programme is inaudible due to interference.

Date of recording: 7/1/1990

Note: Radio Moscow's Moscow Mailbag with Joe Adamov from 1979 (studio tape). Listening to the questions, such as the first one, makes you wonder if people sent in questions like that to hear if Joe would actually answer them, or if some questions were made up at Radio Moscow for political purposes. Probably both.
