Longest ear of corn?

I know many people here have landrace corn with influences from an untold number of historic or exotic sources.  

I recall hearing stories of some Native American varieties that were very long, but in my searches, I can't find any specific varieties by name.  There seems to be a yellow dent from Mexico that normally goes 15"+, but the story I read about it says it was longer in the past than it has been in many years.  The world record is something like just over 3', but is obviously not a consistent producer of long ears or we'd have heard about it, I'd think.

I would love to hear stories or see photos of the longest ear of corn you've grown to date.  Was it a rare occurrence for you, or does it show up with regularity if the rainfall is perfect?

Longest run about 13 inches when picked, but they shrink quite a bit as they dry down.
Here are some good ears from this year. 10-12 inches is not unusual:

Thom Bri, those are some nice looking ears!  I see your migration toward flinty is going well.  Thanks for posting.

Still seeing a lot of dent corn. Less than last year but maybe 1/4 is dent. There is no hurry, and the crossbred seeds make the biggest ears. This has been a good year.

A little update to this topic for anyone interested in long/girthy corn:  

I found a source of "Wade's Giant" Flint Indian Corn through Baker Creek seeds that come 75 seeds to a pack, and they're still in stock.

I have some plans for a few projects that this seed can contribute to, but if anyone is looking to add some larger genetics to their own mixes, here's one avenue.  

Giant

After complete dry-down my longest ear was 11 inches this year.
