This is a picture of a 1958 endurance flight in Vegas, it was sponsored by a casino.

These guys (Robert Timm & John Cook) flew 64 days, 22 hours and 19 minutes NON-STOP in a Cessna 172. They flew around in a circuit being resupplied and refueled as shown. Over 150,000 miles flown, about 6 times around the earth! They said the engine was about to rattle off the plane when they finally landed.
