I've timed several 8 hr LSF slope flights and 1 flight over 8 hours that
was Thermals.  Gary Itner did it about 20 years ago with his 16', 3 ch.
XC sailplane.  There have been longer slope flights but no one has done
more than 8 hours in thermals in this country with the possible
exception of Wurtz on his WR X/C flight.

Long TD flights are no fun after a couple of hours.  And they are
certainly not easy.
