DrRox:
Thanks for posting the dates, apskip. Aren't we all volunteers here?
From eyewitness accounts, the Osaka Pit Stop started for R/D about 2 pm on Dec 19th. From the episode, it ended for R/D about 4:15pm on Dec 19.
bcp19:
How long was the flight from Osaka to Honolulu supposed to take? I noticed Art/JJ saying they had a 12 hour flight and were going to get some sleep, but that doesn't add up. The HA 450 flight (by the sign they show) departs at 2115 which would be 0215 in Hawaii. Given from bspencer's pics D/R were at the towers at 1013, this points to a ~7hour flight.

No idea, apskip.
I am under the impression that the longest PitStop this season was about 16 hours, but :duno:

bcp19, I haven't gotten to that part of replaying the episode yet, but as I recall the teams were told they were booked on flights that arrived early in the daytime of the 19th (Hawaii time) my mind is saying after 6 am (6:30?, 6:50?) but there's always the possibility that teams went to an unaired route marker that was edited out of Phil's recitation of the pit stop release clue, and we have no idea one way or the other. However, if the teams had known before they arrived in Hawaii what they had to find, then we wouldn't likely have had teams asking their taxi driver if they knew what the place was that was described in the clue, and the teams likely would have had an address or a place name that would have gotten them there directly.
This season has been like an early season where a timeline had to be constructed after the season finished airing, and there were willing Racers to help reconstruct the timeline details.
I'm not surprised by the info Peach mentioned about the longest pitstop not having been more than 16 hours this season. I think teams had to have spent a lot of time this season in airport layovers (unaired) in order for the show to get teams into and out of South America, Africa, and India much less to Japan, and for many of these areas, there really weren't direct flights at all. And given the total time for filming.

You are pretty close, bcp19. It is scheduled as a 7 hour 45 minute flight. It was about a 7.5 hour flight for Dec. 19.
