As of June 1, Steve Fossett and Navigator Mark Rebholz will be in Ottawa on the way for St Johns, NF. in a 1919 Vickers Vimy replica.
 
Next stop after St Johns, Ireland, recreating the historic first direct crossing of the Atlantic by the British team of John Alcock and Arthur Whitten-Brown in June 1919.
