CYQG to KDET. It's about 8NM as the birds fly. We use Coleman to clear customs and pick up fuel if it's less expensive. Doing the EAPIS, booking a customs appointment and opening the flight plan takes way longer than the flight.

I flew some circuits at Abbotsford some years ago on my student pilot permit. I checked the ATIS before I departed, noted that the active was 25 and discussed the airspace implications with my instructor.

He told me that The Authorities would take exception to me filing a flight plan to Bellingham (or Victoria, via U.S. airspace), but a wide downwind at Abbotsford that happened to be a few meters in to Whatcom County wouldn't be an issue.

2.5 NM, from Port-au-Prince's old military airfield, Bowen Field, to Port-au-Prince International, twice, once in a Beech F33C, a second time in a Beech E-18S.

St Andrews to Winnipeg. 12nm.

Not the shortest flight possible, but I flew that corridor at least 315 times...

I do this leg all the time. Takes about 3 minutes by Caravan. Every day I will do numerous flights between the islands in Belize that are less than 5 minutes long.

I would imagine there are many 30 second floatplane flights out there !

4nm from Oliver BC to Covert Farm beneath McIntrye bluff in a Taylorcraft.

They are closed now but the strip still looks useable May try it some day. Paragliding is just next to the strip off the ridge line

Brings back a memory of flying off the trans Canada HWY ( had to be the longest "runway" I've used ) by Jocko Point at midnight in the winter for a first flight of a Cherokee 140 ( picked it up from the Bomark missile site north of North Bay in the SILO in a hundred pieces !) Landed at the North American NORAD site ( North Bay ) without calling in due to radio problems ( pilot finger trouble ) Highly abbreviated shorter version, of course. The taxiing along the sideroad with attendant snowbanks was more interesting than the flight! I hope Mark C is not reading this

I'm trying to figure out why "non stop" is in the thread title.

Hmm,

I guess if you landed on a country road 30 seconds after take-off for fuel, while on your way to destination, that flight would not count....

9 minutes EHRD - EHAM

Both with the 737-300.

I did that on the b744 25 yrs ago. Fun!
Although it was even more fun to do touch and goes with the 400 at Chateauroux....
