Ok, I'm impressed. Today I worked a Lancair IV.  Pretty good airplane in their own right. I was surprised at the flight plan:
 
KGUS (Peru Indiana)..CIM..PXR..MZB(Mission Bay Ca.)C1156......destination PHNL (Honolulu Hawaii).. Non Stop!
 
At the speed he was flying through, that is a 24 hour flight, burning 10 gallons an hour. What a trip. 
 
Here is what it was designed for: 
 
N6ZQ is a Lancair IV that is built specifically for an around the world flight over both poles!
