We pretty much exhausted this thread some time back, but I
interviewed
Dick Rutan for a magazine article and the question of logging his

happened in
1989. Rutan said the flight was logged as "local" in his book. He
did
point out that the rules now allow crosscountry time by noting the
fartherest waypoint and noting the flight as a round-robin.

That's hilarious. I'm glad the FAA showed a rare smidgen of common
sense by
changing this rule.

A more extreme example were the two guys that flew a 172 for nearly
65 days non-stop back in '59. Their flight distance was equivalent to
several round the world flights, yet had to be logged as local.
