My contribution. Offutt AFB to Kadena AFB non-stop on Rivet Joint.
Refuel over Alaska. Immediately after refuel, the aircraft was tasked
for a real world tasking. Since my clearance was only Secret, I was
directed to sit in the aft crew-rest seats (aft-facing). I was not to
get up or even look around. 10 hours of pure boredom. 21 hours total
time inflight.


I feel your pain but that's merely riding along as a passenger not
"flying" (check subject header). Not only is the view better from the
front office but you have things to do up there and aren't quite so
bored.
