Jeana Yeager
Jeana Yeager is an American aviator. She co-piloted, along with Dick Rutan, the first non-stop, non-refueled flight around the world in the Rutan Voyager aircraft from December 14 to 23, 1986. The flight took 9 days, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds and covered 24,986 miles (40,211 km), more than doubling the old distance record set by a Boeing B-52 bomber in 1962.
==Early Life==
Jeana Lee Yeager was born on May 18, 1952, in Fort Worth, Texas, moving with her family to Garland, Texas, Oxnard, California and Commerce, Texas. She has no relation to aviator Chuck Yeager. Following graduation from High School, Yeager married a police officer when she was 19, but the two were divorced after five years of marriage.〔 She worked as a draftsman and surveyor for a geothermal energy company in Santa Rosa, California, where she obtained her private pilots license in 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Gathering of Eagles Foundation :: Yeager, Jeana L. )〕
Jeana went to work for Robert Truax who was developing a reusable spacecraft. She met Dick Rutan in 1980 and they soon both set distance records in the Rutan VariEze and Long-EZ planes, designed by Dick's brother Burt Rutan. In early 1982, Jeana set a new women's speed record for the 2,000-kilometer closed course and in the fall of 1984 using the VariEze, she set the open-distance record of 2,427.1 statute miles.〔
