Do You Want To Break This Record In Real Life or on FSX?

Postby Aharon » Wed Apr 24, 2019 5:02 am

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?
