24 one-hour time zones, the planet is about 24,000 miles around, so if you’re going 1000 MPH or so you could do it. But you’d have to be in some kind of military plane now that the Concorde has gone away.

earth circumference about 25,000 miles divide by 24 hours get about 1042 mph. So yes if you're going to go that fast, but otherwise no.

The SR-71 could do it any time that it wanted to.
