Solar Impulse Team Cancel Take-Off from Nagoya

Capture decran 2015-06-23 a 21.14.00

Sadly, the Solar Impulse team had to cancel the take-off from Nagoya due to worsening weather conditions.This happened at the last minute, when pilot André Borscherg was already in the cockpit, ready to go.

Let's hope that a good weather window will soon be found to allow Borschberg to reach Hawaii !
