Checking where that persistent oil drip is coming from???

Had to go back to find it but this is supposed to be the story that goes along with the #1166 picture. True? Who knows.

Hunter Brothers doing some mid-air mechanical checkups during their 23-day-long flight without landing in 1930. Over the 23 days, food and fuel were delivered to them periodically by another airplane. [960x765]

There is nothing like the wind in yer hair and the bugs in yer teeth!
Or...I've looked everywhere...it's not in here either!
Or...Where not to get airsick!

This is an extremely interesting read similar to the Hunter Brothers but is the record Endurance Flight

Endurance test 1958

Amazing what Bob Timm and John Cook did in this record making flight in endurance test 1958. Illustrated by the following comment in the dialog: "“We had lost the generator, tachometer, autopilot, cabin heater, landing and taxi lights, belly tank fuel gauge, electrical fuel pump, and winch,” Cook wrote." Read the whole story if you have time.

If he moves out any further it will be a hair cutter not a head scratcher.

We had an old saying….”ran out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas, all at the same time….”
