The Longest Endurance Flight Ever

The record was held by two former navy pilots who managed to stay in the air for forty six days in 19 forty nine. It started back in the late 19 fifties while bob tim was working at the hacienda casino in los vegas. The owners, judy and doc bailey, were often on the hunt for new ways to drum up business.
