After Andre Borschberg had to abort first attempt of crossing the Pacific Ocean and land in Nagoya (Japan), the second attempt was successful. After historic flight of 5 days and nights almost without sleep Borschberg has safely landed at Honolulu's Kalaeloa Airport. The 8.500-kilometer journey was the longest and riskiest leg of Solar Impulse 2's round-the-world attempt.

While crossing the Pacific in 118 hours Solar Impulse 2 shattered several world records, breaking the 2,500-kilometer, 44-hour record for solar powered flight Borschberg set a few weeks earlier. Borschberg also broke the record for longest non-stop solo flight without refueling.
