Nothing too specific, but ...
back in 1996 (2nd Feb to be specific!) I was on BA226 ATL-LHR which I recall did the trip in not much more than 5 hours - it was through a US nor-easter with a roller-coaster of a jet stream all the way - the seat belt lights were on for the whole trip (and no food/drink was served!).
1997 (9th July) QF101 AKL-LAX (a 747) - remember doing > 1100 kmh (which I thought was odd for a largely equatorial routing and no significant jet stream).
And while here, taxiing: as many know Frankfurt is a rather large airport from end to end, and after an extremely long taxi (on Lufthansa), the German pilot announced something along lines of 'sorry of the inconvenience - we're an aircraft, not a landcraft...'. (so Germans so have a sense of humour!).
