Two months in a 172
I just got this months AOPA magazine. There is an article about two guys who set the record for the longest duration flight in history. I can't even imagine two months in the air. After a couple hours I'm ready to land.
"During the months of December 1958 and January and February 1959, two young men flew a mission-modified Cessna 172 around and around over the desert Southwest for 64 days, 22 hours, and 19 minutes."

You need to be a member to access the page. They also have a video.
The article said the record setting plane is hanging in the McCarran Airport. Next time you're in Vegas check it out.
