I was in Hilo, Hawaii yesterday and saw this guy coming in. 2300+ nm in a Quest Kodiak. It sure looked to me like he made a short approach, and might have landed with a little tailwind on the runway more aligned with his inbound track. Somebody had to pee.

In 2015 Paraclete Aviation out of Raeford, NC brought a CASA 212 over from Australia (I think) across the Pacific. Talking to the pilot who flew it they had a couple of bladders in the cargo hold and it was a VERY long flight.

What’s the empty to full Gatorade bottle ratio for something like this? In the long run outflow will be less than intake but that cup of coffee before takeoff can sure mess things over at the beginning of the flight.

Drink lots of water and carry extra bladders.
