Longest Flight...Who's the winner?
While flying C17s in the AF, I worked some long days and flew some pretty long flights.
I bet I've got a flight longer than any of you guys!
What's longest flight you've flown? How long takeoff to land and from where to where?

I didn't do it, but my old next door neighbor has done non-stop CONUS to IRAQ to CONUS in the B52... he made the return trip several thousand pounds lighter than when he left and had to refuel several times enroute.

I picked up a DV in DC and fly Andrews direct to Manila, Philippines. It took 21 hours and two air refuelings, one over Alaska and another over Japan.
Thank God for autopilot!
That said...I think 15 hours hand flying a bonanza may be the winner so far.
