My Fastest DL flight
Flew ATL-BOS this morning on a 757
At the end of the flight, the pilot announced that we had just flown faster than we are ever likely to fly again on a commercial flight.

A tail wind of 186 mph had our ground speed at 738 mph.

I don't keep up with these things - I guess that's really fast?
