Concorde
During one of Concorde’s proving
flights, an Air France Concorde took-off from Boston to Paris at
the same time as one of the company’s 747s from Paris heading
the opposite way. The Concorde passed the 747 over the Atlantic
having covered 1,800 miles more. It landed in Paris to re-fuel
for the return to Boston and then overtook the slower “jumbo
jet” for a second time over the Atlantic and landed in Boston 11
minutes before the 747!
