BA 777 nearly supersonic.

[skol]

The press foaming at the mouth again, apparently a tailwind gets you closer to the sound barrier.

Following the same logic, you fly supersonic on every eastbound flight due to the earth rotating in that direction... On the equator you are even supersonic when stationary.
Press and physics do not always mix.

[Bergerie1]

Not only do physics and the press not mix but people have very short memories. In 1977 (or perhaps '78) Super VC10 G-ASGC (the one preserved at Duxford) crossed the Atlantic from New York to Prestwick in 5 hours 1 minute. So far as I know this is still the fastest Atlantic crossing by a subsonic commercial airliner.

Today I learned that if you can't remember something that happened 37 years ago you have a very short memory..

Perhaps I can't count beans!

Using a different frame of reference....

I did Boston to Shannon once on a A330 in 4hrs 55mins.

When flying supersonic, do you have to put your microphone behind your head?

[Multl]

How about JFK to PWK in 5h 01m as flown in a BA Super VC-10 G-ASGC, now preserved at Duxford, back in 1979. The story of that flight is in the book 'With my Head in the Clouds Part 1' which I recently read.

there is an echo in here

Highly unlikely, given that Air Canada fly St John's-Heathrow which is nearly 800nm shorter than JFK-PIK.
