Skittone and Bob Reynolds flew their aircraft to each of the lower 48 states, landed it, and then took off again very rapidly.
A truly spectacular feat was done by two pilot buddies, who also set a world record as a result of their achievement.
According to the Guinness World Record, the fastest journey by plane through all 48 contiguous states is 1 day, 14 hours, and 13 minutes and was achieved by John Skittone and Robert Reynolds (both USA) from May 17 to 19, 2023.
The team decided to break this record for four reasons: personal accomplishment-while accomplishing a longstanding bucket list item to visit all 48 states in one trip; to promote general aviation; to demonstrate how easy it is to travel the country in a small aeroplane; and to encourage others to get out and see the world!
