...were 10 years old and had the chance to enter the locker room of a college football team, wouldn't that team quickly become your favorite? If you were given an official, regulation-sized football and a sweatshirt that had the sqaud's logo sprawled across the front, wouldn't you tend to lean towards that team...

For Rutan, 48, and his copilot Jeana Yeager, 34, the landing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., marked the completion of an extraordinary mission: a 25,012-mile global trip in 9 days, 3 min. and 44 sec., the first time that a plane had circled the earth nonstop without refueling...
