So this is photo proof that the B747-400 is faster than the MD11? Did I meet you at the Jet Lag Club Narita?

Not much passes a whale, but it took him almost the entire Pacific to catch us. Haven't been to Narita in years.

Haha, that made me laugh out loud for some strange reason. I guess you don't normally hear things talked about on that scale

Looks to me you were just cleared to Contact. I'll take a fill up please. The Saudis have a 747 Tanker.

We can go faster but usually hanging around CI-80 (CX anyway) to save a bit of gas. Usually ends up around .838-.845M.

I've always wondered what it would feel like to be on a 33,000 foot tower, with just an oxygen mask on, as a 747 -like the one above- flew just 50 feet over me at some 490 KTAS. This photo comes close! Thanks for posting your fine work jungle!

I think I'd be changing my pants shortly after.
