Longest glide?

So, I guess the question is..... "What's the longest still air glide", not, "How far did you go without turning"? A few replies are the 2nd type, I think JSC wanted the 1st type..... I flew with KS back from a leg to Nevada at Parowan a few years ago. I think we were cruising near VNE most of the way without a turn but there was this EERIE WHISTLING SOUND FILLING THE COCKPIT! It sounded like Yankee Doodle Dandy!ZB

Longest glide?
Longest glide means just that, the longest glide of the flight, without any climb, typically the final glide. Otherwise this is not a glide, but straight flight with no turning, which is also interesting number when not done in wave or ridge lift.
