the screen @ 5.06 makes me think of Fighter bomber (Amiga) . i wonder if B1 march mission over Lybia was the longest ever . i think WW2 missions over the pacific may have been long too , but i think there wasn't in flight refueling at that time .?

 

edit : no there wasn't as the raid over Tokyo didn't use some

A B-2 flew a 48-hour combat mission from Missouri to Iraq. Not sure what they did with all that extra time, since the flight to and from Iraq was probably only 26-30 hours (*only* haha) so 18+ hours of loitering? Not sure, haven't seen much info about it. Besides that, B-2s made several combat flights over A-stan from Missouri, which was in the area of 30 hours or so.

i'll try to find back the info but i think i heard the B1 made a 3 days missions (over 48h + refueling and all) not sure i'm going to search

i think i interpreted wrongly . i think they made a 3 days trip outside the US but they landed somewhere in the Mediterranean because as i read again 3 days just seems a bit unreal

 

Two B-1Bs assigned to the 28th Bomb Wing left Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., early March 27 to take part in the United Nations-backed no-fly zone over Libya. They returned three days later after hitting almost 100 targets in North Africa
