I did the NY to Paris Lindberg flight in the Ryan NYP. I don't remember how long it took, but I stretched it out over several days-about 12 as I recall.

C'mon guys! No weekend long-haulers here except me?  ;)
My longest has probably been around 13 hours (did SYD-SFO for Qantas last week). Lately, I've been on a 747 fix.  :)

My longest haul.. was in the Project Opensky 777-200ER, Heathrow to Philadelphia. I believe it took about 8 hours crossing the Atlantic. I do long hauls once in a while. I love short hops too. I've done Schipol-Alicante, Barcelona-Tenerife South and Heathrow-Manchester too.

I can't make myself fly for a VA.. I do flying when I feel like it, not at a required basis.

And YES, I do fly props some times, but I can't find any short, enjoyable routes just yet.. :-X

1 Hour @ McCarran backwards in the default 206b. Used FSrecorder 2004 to display my interaction, oK, harrassment of the hired help (AI)

Perfect example of flight (imo) the hummingbird, hover, up, down, forewards, backwards, sideways and various combinations of them all.

Love the helicopter :)

I always find these sorta interesting.  My longest flight was 8+ hours from Washington Dulles to Frankfurt in a Luftanza 747.  I used to actually take this route when I was working in Germany so for me I found it quite interesting.  

I flew it in real time (no slewing), and took off at the same time I would in the real-world (about 6:40pm).  So I flew all night and saw the sunrise arriving at 6 or 7am.  To keep myself busy at cruise I would study all the countries and areas I was flying over using the internet or travel guides.  Boy was I tired when I landed as it was like 4am!  I tried to walk but had my sea legs were making me wobble! (maybe I should call them seaplane legs!  ;D )

Fun, but haven't flown one that long since... someday.

I'm slowly branching out by doing longer and longer trips.

Darwin-Jakarta is no longer a 'long trip' and so I'm going to start going Darwin-Singapore and Darwin-Kuala Lumpur! :P

In doing these trips, I also adjust the AI trafiic to represent the airport - so I'm going to have change the traffic for Singapore and KL with Singapore and Malaysian traffic.  That will include painting a SIA defalult 777, SilkAir 737 and Malaysian 777 - I couldn't find any decent ones on the net...

This Saturday's going to be busy! ;)

I've done a lot of 10+ hour flights, and a few 13,14, 15+ hour flights over the years. Mostly though, my cross country flights are between 2-6 hours.

And yes, all my flights are done real time, at or near my computer... ;)

I set the Stratojet Merlin on autopilot and let it go with unlimited fuel. I think I took off from some East Coast US city and headed it east. Gyro drift had me falling of the bottom of the Earth at the South Pole some 28 hours later...
