See: Looks like 22 Hours 43 Minutes! USAF E-4 Command Post For comparison, the USAF installed an In-Flight Refueling Receptical on the E-4, which is a Boeing 747-200, so that it could fly for 3 days without landing. It also had extra oil tank to supply the engines with oil. The limitations are the food & water for the 94-man crew and the latrines.
