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.

I have been on flights returning to the U.S. from Asia via pacific and these strong tailwinds are no fun at all.

During WWII the jet stream was not well understood.

When B-29s began bombing Japan from high altitude, they were sometimes barely moving. Coming back of course was the opposite.

I think that is one reason they went to low altitude bombing.
