Quotes from the news wire:
It was a relatively new design, it’s a roomy four-seater airplane and it was known for being reliable and fairly easy to fly – something you do n’t have to pay attention to every moment. And when you’re doing long duration, you want an airplane that’s just going to kind of hum along there.

The important thing, however, was to create a way to refuel, there had been a lot of experiments up to this point with aerial refueling, but there really was no way to modify a Cessna 172 to be refueled in midair. So they set up an extra tank that could be filled from a truck on the ground. When they needed to refuel, they would come down and fly very low and just above stall speed, then the truck came along and winched up a hose and then used a pump to transfer the fuel into the airplane. It really was a dramatic show of airmanship, because they had to do it at night sometimes and that required some precision flying.
