No, this is a Giant Cargo Pod:

For the refueled Endurance record I don't think anyone has beat the C172's record. 64 day 22 hrs and 19 minutes. I figure at 100 mph that's 155,800 miles from take off to landing. Can't even imagine what that would cost in fuel today.

Re: GIANT CARGO POD

The flight was terminated when the engine deteriorated to the point that they could no longer climb away from the fuel truck


64 days and 22 hrs = 1558 hrs. Almost reached TBO in one flight :shock:
