Cessna 172 Endurance Test, Circa 1958
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. The world endurance record in a propeller-driven airplane was set in that little Cessna almost 50 years ago. (www.aopa.org) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
totally neat i would like to see somebody using a simular plane to do the same thing
I've seen that plane many times in McCarran and figured that there was a story to go along with it but never imagined this. Very cool.
Wow. An amazing feat, but very nutty at the same time.
