The date of departure has been moved to 11am on Saturday the 18th of July 2009. The Sling Around the World team have put in a lot of extra hours preparing the aircraft and flight testing and need an unhurried final preparation time and this will give them one more day to double-check everything but more importantly this will give Mike and James time for much needed rest before departure. Of course it also means you can now bring the whole family to enjoy their departure on Saturday.
