I am sure there was a thread about 737 longest flight, but I could not find it. So..... Pacific coast to Europe non stop?
Is it legal to make a 9.5 hours flight with only 2 pilots? (I know this is not a revenue flight, but still)
Eight times a month, Ryanair takes delivery of a 737-800 jetliner at Boeing Field in Seattle, Wash., and flies it nonstop to Ireland, often with just two pilots on board.
On its way home to Dublin, it traveled from continent to continent without a fuel stop, usually something only the bigger jets do. It covered 4,300 nautical miles (4,950 miles, or 7,960 kilometers) in 9 hours and 24 minutes, passing just below the Arctic Circle at 41,000 feet (12.497 meters).
