The plane flew between Las Vegas and Blythe, Calif., with occasional side trips to Los Angeles and Phoenix, Ariz.
"Each morning and evening they swooped low over the Blythe airport to refuel from a pickup truck driving 90 miles an hour. They lowered a hook to hoist the refueling hose and a basket containing hot meals and mail.
"At each refueling, inspectors checked paint on the plane's tires to verify that no secret landings had been made." (Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Feb. 8, 1959) -

At first I read the dates the British way (dd-mm-yy) making a 15 month flight :-) then I realised it was 4DEC58 to7FEB59, still within 2 hours of an epic 65 days!
