I knew about this some years ago, but I forgot until today (Yelena is going to Russia today). Right now, she is on her first flight, traveling at 550 mph at an altitude of 37,000 feet just past Phoenix, Arizona.
If you happen to see this today, you can watch her flights… 🙂
First flight 8:00 am – 12:35 pm (PST)
Second flight 1:30 pm – 10:00 pm (PST)
Third flight 11:25 pm – 2:25 am (PST)
Fly like the wind, Yelena!! Back to the motherland! How often do international spys have to fly back and check in with the KGB, anyways?
Every 6 years apparently.
