Uhh..... Are you kidding or this a test?

That story is dated 4:45 p.m. ET Jan. 8, 2004

I hate to spoil it for you, but the flight was a succes and they did set the record - Fosset did anyway, "reserve pilot" Branson didn't get called.

No I wasn't kidding and it wasn't a test! It popped up on Msnbc's site under a headline area. I didn't follow this story last year, so it appeared to be fresh!

Back to my corner, head bowed....
