- One evening in Brussels, the Solar Impulse crew sets off for dinner...
A chance encounter with a blogger previously contacted through Twitter...
@stephtara ben je sais pas vous êtes où? J'ai vu une grande table de gens avec des t-shirts imprimés solar impulse :-)- That was an occasion to give pilot André Borschberg a live demonstration of the power of Twitter and Foursquare. He vows to use the week ahead to get up to speed with Twitter, Foursquare, and Facebook -- and writes a nice article for the blog to illustrate the photograph he took with his iPhone during the Payerne-Brussels flight.
Next flight... we bet he'll be live-tweeting from way up there! 
Brussels Flight From the Pilot’s PerspectiveOnce more, we made a big and successful step forward together! This has been a very special experience for me: to fly to a destination, to travel abroad using only solar energy, what a dream! The flight was so well prepared that I knew in advance what to expect.
