If you were looking for an opportunity to view the solar-powered plane that has been traveling across the world for the last year up close, now is your chance.

The public will be able to view Solar Impulse 2 (Si2) at Goodyear Airport on Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. One big note, you do have toregister ahead of time.

Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg flew the plane for 16 hours on Monday from Mountain View, California to Goodyear, Arizona where it landed shortly before 9 p.m.
