7:20 and that’s more than long enough for me.

Why didn't you drive a truck? It would have been much harder.
Liberalism itself as a religion where its tenets cannot be proven, but provides a sense of moral rectitude at no real cost.

Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find in this business

Re: What was your longest non stop flight?
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.

Re: What was your longest non stop flight?
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.

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!!

Re: What was your longest non stop flight?
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.

Re: What was your longest non stop flight?
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.
