Last Flight Solar Impulse NOW

Last solar charge on the Round-the-World for @solarimpulse before the expected landing at 22:00UTC.

That is 18:00 US Eastern Standard Time. (Detroit, Montreal, New York, Atlanta, Miami). 15:00 US Pacific Time. (Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, LA)

I have followed this team and aircraft for many months as one of the community sponsors of a solar cell on its port wing. Cell #3668.

Its time to be good to the land, water and air if not for us, then for our Children's Children. It has to be done with our generation now.
