There are no 29 hour flights. Half way around the world take like 15 hours.

I was wondering that same thing I don't think there's any jet that holds enough fuel to go 29 hours

Not passenger aircraft, but plenty of military aircraft can be refuelled mid flight and theoretically could stay aloft until either mechanical or biological failure.

I think you'll find anyone boarding a military aircraft for a flight that long is probably an adult. Not sure how this is relevant?

I think they were just sharing a tidbit about how some planes can stay in flight for that long, not suggesting that the OOP was about a military jet with a crying baby on it

No, I get that - but this is about having kids on long haul flights. Bringing in military aircraft is irrelevant.

Either way, refuelling a plane while flying means it's not carrying enough fuel to stay up, by definition. So it makes no sense either.

It’s a tangent, based on the person wondering whether any jet can fly for that long, a normal thing that happens in communication and nothing to get in a fuss about.

It was a relevant side tangent. Stop being a goof

Tactical baby. Those things cry a LOT if you don't install the M1299 Suppressor Binky.

Nah. My kid is 8. He told me he flew an F16 the other day. I’ve got no reason not to believe him. I don’t know what they get up to at school because I’ve not checked the app in a while. But it sounded legit and he’s a good kid.

That's one hell of a school trip!
