New time feat: around the globe in 57 hrs

London: Three Swiss pilots set a new time record by flying around the world in a charter jet in just 57 hours and 54 minutes. Riccardo Mortara and his crew proudly landed in Geneva on Sunday, beating American Steve Fosset's 2006 record by nearly 10 hours.

The Trio flew in the Rockwell Sabreliner 65, making 10 refuelling stops, each carefully time to take no more than 15 to 20 minutes.
