Why didn't you drive a truck? It would have been much harder.

Well I can’t even come close to the other posters but here are a couple of flights I did:

Cessna 180 on floats Ft. St.John to Flin Flon 6:00.
Cessna 180 on wheels Yuma AZ to Gillette WY 6:40. Then stuck in a blizzard for 3 days at the Gillette Super 8 waiting to go to YWG.

7 hours even in a Cessna 337.

Two hours in the King Air seems long, now.

The Catalina had an endurance of over 24 hours. The “Secret Order of the Double Sunrise” was a name bestowed to those who enjoyed a 24 hour trip on QANTAS operated Catalinas between Perth and Ceylon during the war.

Nope, pure thermal flight in Southern Ontario a few years back. First to last thermal during the long June days.

I start moaning "f&@$, are we there yet after 45 minutes......

Depends on who I'm flying with. Sometimes 20 minutes seems like 2 hours. Sometimes it's the opposite.

After a out 2 hours, I'm saying "when are we gonna be there?" I could never do long haul, but to each, their own.

7.6 in a 172 doing continuous low level work. I slept well that night!

Commercially, about 14 hours. Vancouver to Auckland.

As PIC, about 2.5 hours.

Engines hardly count.

5.5 in a glider with a 2000' release. Wave up to 10k, caped by airspace in NZ. I wasn't prepared for the flight, so I had to return to pee.

8.5 flat land soaring is impressive!!

confusedalot · Post by **confusedalot** » Tue Nov 27, 2018 7:16 pm

about 10 hours, or something like that.

767-300 from vietnam to either sidney or melbourne.

not enough fuel in the plane to do 19 hours. 14 hours tops with no passengers or cargo. with an alternate in grandmas backyard next to the airport.

Just a thought, but it would be great to have a glider forum on this site. I do not think I am the only one interested in it.

Not impressive next to the commercial guys, 2 @ 4:45 in a 182.
Great falls MT - Green Bay,
Sioux lookout - Toronto, which seemed pretty far.

Actually that is more uncomfortable than flying the big iron because you can't get out of your seat and walk around.

11 hours give or take in the 330, though 7 hours in the DC-3 was more tiring.

Bagotville to Portage in a T-33: 3:30.

Not particularly spectacular; just memorable for the length of time airborne in that type of bird...

My longest was 13.1 hours right seat in a ferry tanked Twin Otter, Rotterdam Holland to Rhodos Greece. I didn't leave the seat, as with the ferry tanks in the cabin, there really was nowhere to go back there anyway! During that ferry to Lesotho, we had a few other 11 hour legs. Solo longest time was in my Teal was 6.9 hours from Sept Iles to Lac a la Tortue along the St Lawrence in a miserable headwind. Beautiful route though, I was pleased to take my time for the view!
