One year ago, I set out on a mission to find the longest route possible, using the autogenerated ones from SimBrief. What I found was a 12,329 mile, 24-hour-long flight from Adelaide to London Heathrow. After doing some research, I found the record for the longest flight on VATSIM to be just 11,830 miles long. With this knowledge in hand, I knew I had to try and break this record. This video is a mini-documentary of what it was like for me as I flew for 24 hours, and stayed awake for over 30 as I made my record-breaking attempt. Enjoy!

*Note: This is not an official record. VATSIM/Guinness World Records does not keep an official leaderboard for the longest flight on VATSIM, and I am only claiming it as such because I was not able to find recorded evidence of a flight longer than this.
