BEIJING: A pilot said Sunday that he is anxious but excited about flying a solar plane solo from China to Hawaii on the longest leg of the first attempt to fly around the world without a drop of fuel.
Andre Borschberg, 62, is due to fly over the Pacific Ocean for five days and five nights in the plane.
