'Course, I flew several 26-hour airborne alert missions, but I always had
some help and I could nap a bit occasionally. Lotsa 12 to 14-hour ones from
Guam to Vietnam & back and one from Guam to Wichita, KS.
Many 10 to 12 hours.

I pulled a pair of 1200 mile days a week apart getting to and from a family
gathering. SO series makes it too simple to achieve.

Iron butt = monkey butt?
You get behind the semi and draft off of him. That way your mileage goes
WAY up.

Iron butt is a motorsickle thing. You ride 1000 miles in a day. I'm
willing to give ironbutt awards for cars or trucks too. It is not easy
to do.
In 1990, when we shipped the Escort (Diesel content) to HI, I drove 1000
miles a day in 2 consecutive days to get it to the port. It was very
grueling with 55 mph speed limits. 18 hr days.
I figured that was worth 2 iron butts.
I thought monkey butt was some anti itch stuff. not=
