Just out of interest:
You shortest flight in FSX? Mine was Birmingham to Heathrow, about 15 mins.
Your longest? Mine was Delhi to Charles de Gaulle. About 7 hours in a TWA 747-100.

Shortest was... Ten feet off the runway at St. Maarten, flew about 50 feet, then down.

Longest was Kastrup - Venice.

I take it you're a military or prop flyer?

I flew Los Angeles to Chicago O'Hare. Though it was mostly autopilot. That would be my longest. Shortest would be when I accidently crashed by smacking the wing of an Extra 300 into the ground on takeoff, or where I started the game and instantly destroyed.

Longest actually flown flight, although not very long, was down most of Scotland onto a really nasty little airfield towards the south.

I think my longest flight was in a F-18 in formation with a 747, Hand flew it for 3 hours.

Shortest flight maybe KTUS to KRYN,  only like 10 miles, did it as a test run.

That must have been hard work.

Lots of Trim work. The nice thing about AI is they fly Direct GPS so once I got the speed matched I just had to make minor adjustments to my heading and altitude

It was a challenge tho.
