10am update: Not much new to tell you from the 8am press conference, other than that Fossett remains on course and should be landing at 1.20pm local time today. With any luck he'll have enough fuel for a flypast before he lands: if that isn't possible many people who will line the long runway watch him come in may not see it, because the plane is so light that it won't need much space to land. A new story should be going up shortly.
