Aviation pioneer Steve Fossett smiles while climbing out of the cockpit of the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer after piloting the flyer on its last flight to its new home, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center on May 23, 2006, in Chantilly, Va. The museum acquired the plane, which Fossett flew during the first nonstop, solo flight around the world without refueling in 2005.
