LOL,

Now.. that would be a flight to remember. If Southern California to
Kansas City was something..

They make these portable, disposable fuel tanks that you take out the
seats .. and you see just out the side window and half the front.

Lindbergh did it with mirrors ..

Now.. lets see..  Approximately 60 hours at an average of 110 kts, to
cover a great circle distance of 6533.5 nm from KOKB (Oceanside, CA
USA) to YSSY (Sydney, NSW AU)  on a true heading of 241.2 degrees ..

So, 60 hours. No place to go. Literally.

KFest is about sleep deprivation...

Except the temporary fuel tank holds 45 hours worth. B'ah humbug!


..and emergency landings are a bitch on that route.  ;-)
