    Hrmmm...add an hour to the time to landing. Someone mucked up and was quoting London time instead of the UTC that they're operating on forgetting that London is an hour ahead of UTC in their summer.

    Currently over-flying the pyramids.

    Solar Impulse 2 has taken off from Seville, Spain and is on its way to Cairo, Egypt on what if all goes well is it's next to last leg. Leaving Cairo will be its last leg as it flies on to Abu Dhabi where it started this amazing fuel-less flight around the world back in March 2015.
