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!!!

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.

Cool

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