PS--6.6 hrs, JFK-SEA, winter, pre- inseat video. Loooong flight in an -800!
Hey Burn, I did a 17.6 in the C-141 with two air refuelings back in the Desert Storm days. I thought that was bad. I think the 6.1 in the 800 is much worse. At least on the Starlizard, I could get up, walk around, play some racquetball, take a nap, etc. (Not really). The 800? Well, at least we got crew meals. Not very good, but they were crew meals. "We've got the going for us." Shout out to you Carl.
