I used to do mini long haul. King Airs on 5 hour legs single pilot inthe Carib. It got boring, but it was also a battle to stay awake aswell. We used oxgen aswell as the Machines werent pressuried. Eating when on oxy is not nice.

The most fun Flying, Ive ever done was drop sterile insects out of King Airs in southern Mexican Mountains 1000agl on 10,000ft mountain ranges. Now thats a blast. Got movies of it aswell.

Regards
Sheep

p.s. Dozzack a good indicator will be, if you get bored flying a C206 in the bush on long legs. If you do, then 13 hrs in a 744 , maybe the same for you.
