QUEENS, USA: Thousands of aviation fans came out to LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) today to cheer for billionaire-industrialist Daniel Bester as he completed the last leg of his now-famous Cross-Borough Flight.

Earlier today Bester took off from New York-Newark Airport (EWR) in his experimental craft, the DB-1, and completed the full circuit across Manhattan in a record four minutes before landing in Queens.

Based on earlier designs, the DB-1 features a plethora of new bits of advanced technology, including an especially ergonomic cockpit. Many in the Military-Industrial Complex have high hopes that the DB-1 can help turn the tide of the war. Bester Aircraft and Asterstar, a Daniel Bester Inc. Company, have been known for decades as leaders in the aviation and aerospace industries.

Though Daniel Bester was quickly whisked away by his agents before the crowd could even catch a glimpse of him, his spokesmen were quick to issue a statement declaring that Mr. Bester had “No Comment.”

Rival Billionaire and aviation enthusiast Richard Branson, who had been in a fierce competition with Bester over the Cross-Borough Flight record, was found dead in his hotel room earlier this morning, his death the result of an apparent-drug-overdose-themed murder.
