The Monday morning reading out of Port Hardy, BC, Canada, reported a west wind of 188 knots (216 mph!) at about 33,000 feet. A check of the flight data on a Southwest Air flight showed ground speeds were over 700 mph at cruising altitudes. [Seattle to Denver, 1 hour 50 minutes!]

I guess that is one way to exceed the sonic barrier. Too bad it doesn’t work with light.

I remember once while flying from Tulsa to Atlanta, the pilot came on the intercom and told us we would be about 20 minutes early.
He said we had a tail wind really blowing.
