Title: Private Jet air speed record attempt currently streaming live

S~

There's currently a World speed record attempt underway to Circumnavigate the globe in a private jet - flying over both the North and South poles and they're live streaming from on board.  Here's the relative info if you're interested.

    Here's a link to their website for more info: https://www.onemoreorbit.com/

    Here's the live stream on You Tube:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5QkzQGLF0r88u5KaH8DVJg/live

                                                           Switches between cockpit view and cabin view.

    You can also track their flight on Flight Radar here: https://www.flightradar24.com/42.21,-82.29/7 
* Update: Got a random pop up ad when from flight Tracker  when I wasn't using it.  Have removed the extension from Chrome and blocked notifications. 

                                                                               Put QQE011   into the search box, it's the flight number, then click on the aircraft it finds to track them. Was over Lake Erie heading North when I began tracking. 

                  If you're using Chrome  it'll ask to install an extension into Chrome.  Seems safe enough on my machine, also asked to allowed notifications, I did, no problems from it so far. The extension did change my new tab setting to take the New Tab opening to
the flight tracker page by default, but also offered and allowed me to reset it to my original setting with just one click.

Seem to recall one refueling stop is part of the plan - and it's faster to refuel than the current record holder.    :surprised-027:
