From: not where I want to be
Not wanting to drift too far from TowerDog's initial post (cool feat BTW!) but subsequent posts led me to wonder if there's been any [re]fueled attempts at a long-duration fling-wing flight, so I went looking...

... and haven't been able to locate any, whereas I found a number of fixed-wing attempts. Most here will know of the nearly 65-day continuous record flight of the Hacienda 172, which I'd have thought might have provided a template of sorts for someone in a heli, but apparently not?

Not my cup of tea, but given the passion shown by many for flight records, and that something like this presumably wouldn't be simply yet another re-hash of an earlier flight, I was somewhat surprised. So, does anyone here know of any attempts that flew below the radar, or do we all need to pitch in to put up a choccy fish for the first successful attempt?

FP.
