Back when I was an A-10 Crew Chief, I saw what they used for facilities when on long flights. Plastic bags with a square of diaper type absorbent material.

Once a squadron came over from Louisiana all the way to RAF Bentwaters, England in a non stop flight. They each had two 600 gallon wing tanks and I believe they had to refuel at least once.

And, remember that the A-10 had no auto pilot back then so it was hands on stick the entire way. Those pilots could not wait to get out of those planes.
