Solar plane lands after record flight

Pilot ends longest nonstop 5-day trip in Hawaii and takes world first as solo flier

A plane powered by the sun's rays landed in Hawaii on Friday after a record-breaking five-day journey across the Pacific Ocean from Japan.

Pilot Andre Borschberg, 62, and his single-seat aircraft landed at Kalaeloa, a small airport outside Honolulu. His nearly 118-hour voyage from Nagoya broke the record for the world's longest nonstop solo flight, his team said.
