In 1969, Palmer piloted a Boeing 747 before the airplane had gone into commercial service.
In 1976, he set a round-the-world speed record that still stands.
Taking off from Denver in a Learjet 36 and heading east, Palmer circumnavigated the globe in 57 hours, 25 minutes and 42 seconds, stopping in Boston, Paris, Tehran, Sri Lanka, Jakarta, Manila, Wake Island and Honolulu.
