The Spirit of Butts' Farm
The Spirit of Butts' Farm (also known as TAM 5) was the first model aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean on August 11, 2003. The aircraft was launched from Cape Spear (47°31.216′N 52°37.428′W / 47.520267°N 52.623800°W) near St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and landed at Mannin Beach (53°26.462′N 10°7.892′W / 53.441033°N 10.131533°W) near Clifden, Ireland 38.9 hours later. It was recognized by the FAI as a double world record flight for its duration of 38h 52 min 19 sec and straight-line distance of 1,881.6 mi (3,028.1 km) using an autopilot, and using the Argos System for telemetry to track the flight's progress; the team's use of technology also spurred the FAI to create new record categories.
