my duties as a reporter concerning this record attempt in not forwarding the
information to you, so here it is.
According to NAA rules the time to beat was 66
hours and 38 minutes total, Takeoff to touchdown.

airport in Kill Devil Hills, NC to Salinas, California in 55 hours, 44 minutes,
and 55 seconds. With a total tack time of 30.6 hours
162 gallons of gas and 3 quarts of oil, (ashless

Total weight
