Hmmm,

This comment from Adam Frisch in the UK is quite descriptive, don't you think?

Guam to Jacksonville - non stop!
Retired American Airlines captain Bill Harrelson (who's wife Sue is a retired United captain, btw) just landed in Jacksonville, FL where he'd flown non stop from Guam in his little homebuilt Lancair 2-seat single engine airplane, beating Max Conrad's "unbeatable" record from 1959 when he flew from Cairo direct to Los Angeles (in a Comanche). He spent 40hrs aloft and without sleep, covering more than 8000 miles. Most of those hours over the Pacific with absolutely no alternatives in case of any malfunction.

Still a few with the adventurous spirit out there. How he fit his huge balls in to the cockpit the story doesn't tell. I can only tip my hat to Bill Harrelson today - respect, boss man!
