Tom Patsalis (December 6, 1921 – July 29, 2014) was an American track and field athlete.
 He has set 26 World Records in his career, a career that was still active in his late 80s.
 As of 2014 he is the World Record holder in the M60 Long Jump, set in 1982 and thus a record he has held for more than three decades.
 As of 2014, only one jumper has come within .2 m (0 ft floor(((.2)*3.28084)−(floor((.2)*3.28084)) *12) in) .
 He is also the American record holder in the Long Jump for the M60 age division, has an as yet unrecognized mark that has been pending since 1977 (though recognized by the California Track News chief statistician at the time, Percy Knox) still 7 inches superior to the listed American record and is the American record holder in the Triple Jump in the M60 and M65 age divisions.
 He was selected to the Masters division of the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2003.
André Borschberg (born December 13, 1952) is a Swiss entrepreneur, explorer, pilot and speaker.
 He is the co-founder of the Solar Impulse project, the first ever round-the-world solar flight, successfully completed in July 2016.
 During the Japan-to-Hawaii leg, André broke the world record for longest solo flight in an airplane of any kind: 117 hours and 52 minutes, breaking Steve Fossett's 2006 record.
 Before that, on 7 July 2010, André completed the first 24-hour solar powered flight.
 The flight set records for the longest manned solar-powered flight and the greatest height reached by a manned solar aircraft.
Jerry Schumacher is an American coach for the sport of track and field, specializing in distance running.
 He has coached Olympic bronze medalist and the former American women's 10k record holder Shalane Flanagan, former Canadian 10k record holder Simon Bairu, the former men's American 10k record holder Chris Solinsky, the men's American two mile record holder Matt Tegenkamp, and the women's NCAA 10k record holder Lisa Koll.
 Prior to 2008 he was the head coach of the University of Wisconsin–Madison track and field team.
Jerome Drayton (born January 10, 1945 in Kolbermoor, Bavaria, Germany) is a former long-distance runner who competed internationally for Canada.
 He was born as Peter Buniak in Germany, and came to Canada in the mid-1950s when his mother moved there after divorcing his father.
 He reportedly based his new name on two famous sprinters he admired: Canadian former world record holder Harry Jerome and American Paul Drayton, former world record holder in the 4 × 100 m as part of the American relay team.
 A prominent runner in the 1970s, when he was for a time ranked as the top marathoner in the world, he won the Fukuoka Marathon in 1969, 1975, and 1976, as well as the Boston Marathon in 1977.
 He is the Canadian record holder in the marathon, with his best time of 2:10:09, set in 1975 at the Fukuoka Marathon; he has held the Canadian record since 1969, after breaking the then record of 2:18:55 set by Robert Moore a month earlier.
Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range experimental solar-powered aircraft project, and also the name of the project's two operational aircraft.
 The privately financed project is led by Swiss engineer and businessman André Borschberg and Swiss psychiatrist and balloonist Bertrand Piccard, who co-piloted "Breitling Orbiter 3", the first balloon to circle the world non-stop.
 The Solar Impulse project's goals were to make the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft using only solar power and to bring attention to clean technologies.
"Solo Flight" is a 1941 instrumental song by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra.
 The instrumental on the Columbia label, featured guitarist, Charlie Christian, and was released in early 1944.
 "Solo Flight" peaked at number sixteen on the pop charts and was number one on the Harlem Hit Parade.
Ada Rogato (1920-1986) was a pioneering woman aviator from Brazil.
 She broke five records, becoming the first South American woman to earn a glider pilot's license and the first Brazilian woman to earn paratrooper certification.
 She broke the world record for the longest solo flight, was the first to fly across all three of the Americas and held the Brazilian record for the number of parachute jumps.
 She was also Brazil's first woman agricultural pilot, flying crop dusters for the Biological Institute to eliminate pests which were destroying the country's coffee crop.
A private pilot licence (PPL) or, in the United States, a private pilot certificate, permits the holder to act as pilot in command of an aircraft privately (not for remuneration).
 The licence requirements are determined by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), but implementation varies widely from country to country.
 According to the ICAO, it is obtained by successfully completing a course with at least 40 hours (45 in Europe) of flight time, passing seven written exams, completing a solo cross country flight (minimum cumulative solo flight time is 10 hours), and successfully demonstrating flying skills to an examiner during a flight test (including an oral exam).
 In the United States, pilots can be trained under Title 14 of federal code part 141, which allows them to apply for their certificate after as few as 35 hours.
 However, most pilots require 60–70 hours of flight time to complete their training.
 The minimum age for a student pilot certificate is 14 for balloons and gliders, and 16 for powered flight (airplanes, helicopters, and gyroplanes).
 The minimum age for a private pilot certificate is 16 for balloons and gliders, and 17 for powered flight (airplanes, helicopters, and gyroplanes).
 Pilots can begin training at any age and can solo balloons and gliders from age 14, and powered aircraft from age 16.
Bertrand Piccard (born 1 March 1958) is a Swiss psychiatrist and balloonist.
 Along with Brian Jones, he was the first to complete a non-stop balloon flight around the globe, in a balloon named Breitling Orbiter 3.
 He was the initiator, chairman, and co-pilot, with André Borschberg, of Solar Impulse, the first successful round-the-world solar powered flight.
James Stephen "Steve" Fossett (April 22, 1944 – c. September 3, 2007) was an American businessman and a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer.
 He was the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon.
 He made his fortune in the financial services industry and was best known for many world records, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot.
