Here's what I was able to capture today during the Global Flyer reposition
flight from Salinas, KS to the NASA Shuttle Landing Facility.

Global Flyer (callsign GLOBAL FLYER N277SF, piloted by Steve Fossett)
  ARTCC: 126.825>125.825

Chase (callsign N377SF, piloted by British accent - ?Sir Richard Branson?)
  ARTCC: 126.825>125.875>128.075>125.05

I was searching for an air-air between the two aircraft but nothing heard.

Thanks to the routing provided at http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N277SF
I knew that Global Flyer would be passing very near overhead my location
so I was ready for him. Here is a 100% cropped photo as he passed overhead
at FL450:
