TULSA – The flight scheduled to venture around the world stopped in Tulsa this week.
A solar-powered airplane that landed in Arizona last week stopped in Tulsa on the latest leg of its around-the-world journey.
The Swiss-made Solar Impulse 2 took off from Phoenix Goodyear Airport about 3 a.m. Thursday with a destination of Tulsa International Airport around 11 p.m. It departed from northern California in the early hours of May 2 and landed at the airport southwest of Phoenix 16 hours later. Last month, it flew from Hawaii to California.

The flight is part of the first trek around the world solar flight. The “Round-The-World Solar Flight” is meant to demonstrate how modern clean technologies can achieve the impossible.
The public can also register here to visit and take photos of Solar Impulse Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
