DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ademola Lookman scored a stunning hat-trick as Atalanta beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Europa League final on Wednesday to win just the second major trophy in their 117-year history and end the German champions' remarkable unbeaten streak.
As such, any attempt to keep an aircraft in the air for a whole month without landing would seem utterly unbelievable, if not ridiculous.
This journey - which set a record in the Guinness World Record for the longest time flying an aircraft - was a publicity stunt for the newly-opened Hacienda Hotel and Casino at the end of the Las Vegas Strip as well as a fundraising bid for cancer research Among the crucial modifications, one of the most important was an extra tank that could be refilled from the ground, and this required experiments to determine the best way to refuel and resupply the plane without needing to land.
Bednarek said that refuelling the extra tank Timm and Cooke had set up in the Cessna meant that they had to fly very low, very slow to keep pace with the truck. On the other end of things, Timm and Cooke used a foldable camp toilet, with the waste being collected in plastic bags which were thrown out over the desert.
Ultimately, Timm and Cooke landed on Feb 7, 1959 - and with this, a record was set that still stands to this day.
