It was Hughes who inspired and helped report our recent story [July 7] on the fad of crossing the Atlantic in small aircraft. Flying as copilot with a professional who was ferrying a twin-engined Piper Aztec from Boston to Geneva, Hughes crossed in three days of which twenty hours were actual flying time. There were stops for fueling in Gander, a haircut in Reykjavik, and golf...
