The sun-powered Solar Impulse 2 plane landed safely early Saturday in New York City, its final U.S. destination in a more than year-long trek around the world.

Not wanting to miss the highlights of The City That Never Sleeps, pilot Andre Borschberg took in the sights with a quick spin around New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty before landing at JFK International Airport. The flight from Allentown, Pa., took about five hours.

Pilots and Swiss adventurers Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard set out to circumnavigate the globe last year in the plane without using fuel or spewing polluting emissions. The two pilots alternate legs of the journey.
