Aharon 465 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Shalom and greetings all my pals, Here is the photo of the plane flying NON STOP for 64 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes, and 5 seconds. That is how long the Cessna 172 flew without landing from December 1958 to February 1959. The two pilots refueled from a truck and slept in shifts on a single mattress. Do any of you want to break this record in real life or on FSX? Please login to display this image. Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
