64 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes, and 5 seconds. That is how long a 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.\u00a0 Since they did not land anywhere except from the departure airport, they could not count it as cross country time!!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
