    Longest flight by type of aircraft?

    does anyone have a list of some kind as to the longest flights for each type of aircraft? (ie:747-200, 400, A320, etc)
    Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....

    Aloha fly's 737-700's from the west coast to HNL.
    WN fly's 737-700's Transcon.
    TWA use to fly 742s from LAX to LHR.
    Mexicana fly's 319s to JFK from Mexico City.
    LH fly's a A320 or did fly an A320 from Germany to EWR in biz class config.
    CO fly's 757's from EWR to Berlin.
    Air Canada fly's an A319 from JFK to YVR.
    AA fly's 757's from DFW to ANC.


    Thats what I can think of for now.

    A340-500: EWR-SIN
    A340-600: JFK-BKK

    CO also flies the 757 to Oslo (and maybe other locations in Europe), which is pretty darn far.

    I had the *pleasure* of flying on a COEx ERJ145 from EWR to TUL -- well over two hours. I know HP Express has some flights on RJs from PHX to places east of the Mississippi.

    777-200ER Ewr-Hkg
    747-400ER Lax-Mel, i've endured that flight and it's horrific to say the least, block to block was just over 16hr 20min with an airborne time of 15hr 45

    we did pdx-ewr non-stop last year in ye old 7 twice 7,but the jetstream on our tail (620 kt GS) at Fl390,was the gift from God that made it possible.
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    DC-3 with ferry tanks HNL to Tarawa, 2200 nm. CV-340 ,non-stop DAY-ELP in my freight dog days ,took about 6.7 hrs,landed with good reserves,the winds were kind. The DC-3 took 15.5 hrs to wend its way HNL to Tarawa, had 17 hrs of fuel on board, and no viable alternates after we left Johnston Island in our wake 6 hrs into the journey. O' the life of a ferry pilot. Buon Natale,God bless us everyone! Gents.
