The Santa Monica's Museum of Flight's replica of the Model 76 Voyager - now on loan to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac). The original Rutan Voyager is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The Voyager accomplished the first nonstop, non-refueled flight around the world. Piloted by Dick Rutan (Burt's brother) and Jeana Yeager, the plane began its flight on December 14, 1986. On December 23, nine days, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds later, it landed back at Edwards Air Force Base.
