Thirteen hours is a long trip. My longest single flight was JFK to Jo’burg in late 96. 16 hours, two crews.

Down the coast of Africa the plane flew low and close to land. Our crew said local air traffic control was not reliable and the pilots were flying on sight!

On the way back we had to refuel in the Cap Verde islands. A tiny spec in mid Atlantic.
