Best of day 14: Turning around over Death Valley from Flying Across America | We're back to mountains and desert.

Best of day 15: Crazy Las Vegas from Flying Across America | Our day in Las Vegas started very smoothly. After flying 5h35 the day before, we eventually had the opportunity to get a long night of sleep.

One of our supporters in Vegas picked us up at the hotel at 11am, and drove us to the airport for the interview with KTNV.

FBI Suspects Notorious Teen In Another Airplane Theft from AVwebFlash Current Issue | Colton Harris-Moore, a 19-year-old accused of stealing several airplanes since leaving a group home near Seattle in 2008, is now suspected in the theft of a Cessna Corvalis that went missing from its locked hangar in Indiana and showed up in the Bahamas on Sunday, more than 1,000 miles away. The airplane was ditched in shallow offshore waters around 7 p.m., but when emergency workers arrived, there was nobody inside and no sign of injury. Harris-Moore has become something of a celebrity on Facebook. He never took lessons and apparently taught himself to fly using manuals and flight simulators. He's also suspected of stealing several speedboats and luxury cars, which together with the airplanes total about $3 million in value. FBI Special Agent Steven Dean said the teenager has "turned from a regional nuisance into an international problem, if that is in fact him," according to The Herald-Times, of Everett, Wash. "We want to get him," Dean said. The FBI on Tuesday offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to Harris-Moore's arrest. Bahamian police told the Herald-Times that about 11 hours after the Corvalis was ditched in the waters off the island of Abaco, a house on the island was broken into and a vehicle parked there was stolen.

Battle of Britain prelude: the birth of the Luftwaffe Ernst... from x planes | Ernst Udet - First World War fighter ace, stunt pilot, barnstormer, movie star. In 1933, Udet amazed the crowd at the Chicago International Air Races, in his U-12 Flamingo, with an aerobatic display that included a dead stick landing, and picking up a handkerchief by his wing tip (videos here and here). By this time Udet had joined the Nazi party and returned from America with two aircraft - purchased with Third Reich funds - that would end up the inspiration for one of the Luftwaffe's most iconic and terrifying aircraft…
