I flew a C-150 from Raleigh, NC to Yellowstone National Park and back. 40.5 hours! It took a couple of weeks though with a few minor maint. problems.

Akron, Ohio area to Zephryhills, Florida via Greensboro in a C-172. Flew back a few days later via Athens, GA and Ohio Universty airport. Had a new engine and they were renting to instructors for $15/hr to burn the break-in period off. I think we got a total of about 15-16 hours.

That doesn't hold a candle the the Katana from SoCal to Maine!!! :eek:

I flew from Kef Iceland to Rossey Roads once with a stop in Brunswick for gas because of a honkin headwind. 13.1 hours. I never thought I would be so happy to be in Rossey.

I was with crewdawg on that crosscountry and also did one to keywest which was fun. Stopped in SAV on the way down and back.

Logged an 18.3 durring Operation ALLIED FARCE. That's with no landings at all. :cool: I think that when I retire, I can collect dissability for just that one flight!
