isn't a B52 also capable of flying non stop from US to anywhere in world and return courtesy of midair refuelling Sure. So could a Piper Cub. (There was a sport in the 1930s whereby a Cub driver would stay aloft for a week or two, picking up 5-gallon fuel cans from a car below. In calm winds, a Cub could fly around the world at the equator in two weeks. The major problem would be spotting the cars  What's really remarkable is the Burt Rutan aircraft that can fly nonstop around the world without refueling. The latest iteration is the one he's building for Richard Branson, which will have only the one pilot. all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com
