   DG> I love the aviation info - keep it coming :)   
       
   Will try.   
       
   This echo was marvelous in the very early 1990-ies. There were several WW2   
   pilots active telling about their combat missions both in Europe as in the   
   Pacific theatre.   
       
   I lost that message base in an early disc crash and have looked for years if   
   there isn't an archive around anymore.   
       
   DG> BTW: longest in the world? There are many flights longer than 11hrs. Is   
   DG> this one of the longest DOMESTIC(?) flights in the world?   
       
   Domestic, yes ... but what is domestic ...   
       
   From Amsterdam to Bonaire theoretically is domestic as well. But is that   
   really?   
       
   Same for Paris to La Reunion ...   
       
   I know that Hawaiian has been toying with the idea of a Honolulu to London   
   Heathrow non-stop. I mapped the circular route on the globe and it is very   
   well possible with today's generation of 787 and A350.
