Voyager Experimental Aircraft Flight Communications with Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in 1986 - First Aircraft to Circle Around World Without Stopping: December 1986
Tom Gavaras’ QSL card reply from the Voyager team.
Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tom Gavaras, who shares the following recording, QSL card (above), and notes:
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
RX location: Minnetonka, MN
Receiver and antenna: ICOM R71A
