I took a tired old C172 from YPJT to Manila in the Philippines once.
Heart rate rises when the fouling plug burps occasionally and it two hours in either direction to anything resembling land. Took an even older and tireder C172 from YPJT to Goroka...... the open water stretches were heaps smaller, but there were moments the pulse quickened in the hills.
