Description
File# 0896 Exhausted from round-the-world flight on a Rutan Long-EZ as displayed at the Planes of Fame Museum, Valle, AZ - USA.
The Rutan Long-EZ is a homebuilt aircraft with a canard layout designed by Burt Rutan's Rutan Aircraft Factory. It is a derivative of the VariEze, which was first offered to homebuilders in 1976. The prototype of the Long-EZ first flew on June 12, 1979.
In 1997, Dick Rutan and Mike Melvill flew two Rutan Long-EZ aircraft that they had built, side by side around the world. This 'around the world in 80 nights' flight was called the Spirit of EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Friendship world Tour, and some legs of it lasted over 14 hours.
