Your longest leg over water

[flyboykelly]

About 2000 miles going across the Atlantic.....at work.....flying a 767-400

I might have you all beat. A little over 6 hours straight in a super cub. Alaska waters. On flights like this you don't drink much liquids for obvious reasons

I used to fly a route from LAX to PPT, it was 4105 Miles over water. It was always fun during monsoon season, we had to fly the NDB approach in a non radar environment. All three engines always performed flawlessly.

My longest over water flight is just under 363 Nautical Miles. 363 NM is the distance from Stella Maris (MYLS) to Ft. Pierce (KFPR) and includes the distance from shore to airports so actual over water is a few nautical miles less.

You can read about it here. They say that the mind is the 2nd thing to go and I cannot remember the 1st. I forget the actual number but think there were around 11 RVs make that trip.

I bet Rosie can top the over water distance in an RV with a passenger. I know no other RV to fly more over water than Jon Johanson and I think his longest leg was Hawaii to California.

Longest over water in a 747 was Los Angles to Tokyo 5,474 miles but I was not PIC.

It would appear that Bill Harrelson holds the all time record for nonstop hours in EAB. 38.5 hours Guam-Jacksonville. He left South America to fly nonstop over the Antarctic but it appears the may be returning to SA.
North pole has been done in SX300 may years ago. But of course that water is mostly frozen.

100knot ground speed. That would be a long 22 hour flight!! And must have been a heck of a headwind!!

Me too!

Even jets and turboprops miss out over the water. I can hear them running rough any time I'm feet wet.

Longest legs are LA to Honolulu. Long swim at ETP.
