Let me rephrase my posts so nobodys feathers get ruffled, I thought Bill John's post was referring to PERSONALLY witnessed, not that Joe's flight wasn't witnessed, it obviously was and certainly a historic flight.
Nah, let's not get too technical. I was simply referring to a witnessed, not "a friend of a friend told me that...." kinda flight. JW's flight is certainly valid. So how long was that?
I would think, and someone has suggested this, that given the very best of days and a good plane and a support team and a large battery pack, one could theoretically stay up from shortly after sunup when thermals start generating until near sunset when thermals start deteriorating.
Let's tighten up the definition here just a bit and say for someone flying from a fixed location, not XC, how long has anyone kept a plane up. So far the longest I've seen posted is 5 hours. Most impressive. What type of plane was used for this flight? What time of year?
(My neck gets sore after about 25 minutes. I presume folks sit down and lean back a bit.)
Thanks,
Bill Johns
