Personal best, distance and/or endurance flights

OK, new thread, what are your most memorable achievements in aviation as far as endurance and or distance?
No commercial flights obviously, no just you or you as PIC.
My longest glider flight was in K-8b somewhere early 90-ies, 7hours 12 minutes, covered the shocking distance of about 60 miles.
Last Saturday beat that long standing record, 7hrs 48 minutes airborne time exactly 8 hrs Hobbs time 1180 NM from Marshfield MA (30NM SE of Boston) non-stop to Naples, Florida in a DA 42
For the accountants among us, I used 69 gallons of Jet A.
For now it's still here:
FlightAware > N629SA
I'll post some pictures later, amazing flight.
