John Edward Long Jr. (November 10, 1915 – July 18, 1999[1]) was an American pilot who is in the Guinness Book of Records for the most flight time by a pilot: over 65,000 hours (more than seven years and four months) at the time of his death.
[1] In September 1989, he broke the previous record, 52,929 hours, set by Max Conrad in 1974.
[1] According to his brother, Ed Long's job involved checking power lines, so "most of that was under 200 feet, in a Piper Cub".
Long was inducted into the Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame.
