The March 2008 issue of AOPA Pilot has a nice story (page 141) about the "Hacienda Hotel" Cessna 172 that flew for nearly 65 days straight in 1958-59. There's a version of the article online that has a video clip you can watch, at http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/aopa/pi ... rtpage=142. Hint: if you click on the image of the article, it will zoom in and the video will appear larger.
I still think this is a very cool story, and it says a lot about the reliability of these airplanes and engines.
