The reason why they finally ended the flight was due to carbon buildup in the exhaust valves. It was robbing the engine of so much power, they started refueling four times a day instead of twice so they didn't have to take on as much weight. Finally it got to the point that they didn't think they could climb out after refueling and that's when they called it. Both of these pilots and the ground crew were just spectacular!
Can you imagine living in a small plane for all that time while flying it. I bet the FAA wouldn't even allow this today I bet Cessna wished they had sponsored it.
The DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL!! They slowly added some each time it was starting to get low! 👍 👁👃👁 Sorta like my old 2007, 469,000 mile, Honda Civic Hybrid! 😮
He worked for the museum until two summers ago when he retired. I just so happened to talk to him the last week he was working there by phone. He actually knew Bob Timm personally.
That poor Continental C-145 engine must have just been totally shot when this was finally finished.

What would the FAA do to stop you? As long as you always have a pilot at the controls (looking at you RedBull), then you're not breaking any rules.
