A Taxi Longer Than A Flight

Patterson Field, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Greene County, Ohio, USA

The first manned airplane flight by Orville Wright was just 120 feet.  The taxiways at Patterson field, which is part of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, are certainly longer than that.

Wright-Patterson has two airfields, Patterson and Wright.  Wright Field was originally named for Wilbur Wright (the 2nd man to fly, shortly after brother Orville), whose first flight was 175 feet.  Again, not only do the taxiways exceed that length, but so do many airplanes which visit these fields.
