    I should have added earlier that these are often performance test flights so the 4 hours and 15 minutes of flight time is far from pointless in most cases.

    Yeah, I was about to say, most likely this is a test flight and they decided to have some fun with it.

    Re: Cessna's Answer

    I was talking to Cessna test pilots over lunch yesterday and they confirmed that it was a fuel system test flight.
    Funny thing, I said something like "So that flight about a month ago..." and they immediately knew what I was talking about :roll:
    Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
