the aircraft was The voyager. The crew were Dick Rutan, Jeana Yeager. & the date of completion December 23, 1986.

Some additional info

During their trip, they had averaged around 116 miles per hour (187 kilometers per hour), and when they landed, they only had a few gallons of fuel left.

I've got my sources...

Here's my question... It's an easy one.

Which "V"-speeds are called out during take-off, in what sequence and what do the speeds stand for?
So I expect three "V"-speeds, the right sequence and their meaning.

V1 ready to rotate
VR rotation
V2 airborne

Tough I have serious doubts it's exactly correct

TBSC: Szerbousz, you're correct. You're turn now
To be completely accurate: V2 = the minimum safety speed with one engine out
