Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland, took off on Monday morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.

 

Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. Their vision is future with clean energy. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight took 16 hours. After takeoff I I met Bertrand Piccard in person, what an honor!

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.
