The Longest Ever Flight Was Over 64 Days In A Cessna 172
Often, when we think of long-endurance flights, our first thoughts jump to military operations. Big planes with highly-trained crew will fly for long periods, using air-to-air refuelling to stay aloft for extended periods.

All Jokes aside this is actually an amazing story of endurance. Joe Biden has the luxury of Depends today - did Depends even exist in 1958?
