William - my worst personal Europa endurance test was right-seat in Tim 
Houlihan=99s G-BZTH when I drank a bottle of water while hanging 
around waiting for his flight plan to mature - and then omitted to make 
a pre-takeoff rudder inspection. The flight was only 2 hours but it 
seemed a lot longer! I could not persuade Tim to deviate from his flight 
plan for a comfort stop.

Attached is a plot of a longer flight in the same aircraft which was 
MUCH more comfortable, thanks to better preflight actions. I can=99t
 remember how much fuel was left at landing, but we were both comfortabe 
with it. 407.32 statute miles = 353.95 nautical miles, flight time 
3:20.
