Amazingly the record for the longest
airplane flight dates back all the way to 1958 - 1959.
On December 04 1958 Bob Timm and John Cook left Las
Vegas, NV in a Cessna 172 and didn't
land again until February 07 1959.
In the 64 days 22 hours 19 minutes and 5 seconds they
were airborne they manage to cover a distance comparable to flying six times
around the Earth.
During the
trip they were constantly refueled in flight and swooped down to grab water and
food from a chase car that followed them.
