Shortest:
DL40, RST-MSP, 8/6/13 - 76 miles, 21 minutes. (Continuation of a diverted flight...but hey!)
Longest:
DL79, CDG-PHL, 7/22/15 - 3723 miles, 8 hours.
Hmmm, I may have to look at taking this tag if I do Argentina and Brazil end of August/early September. Would be a fun line before it vanishes.
