Brittish Airways introduced supersonic flights

[Hakan Schulz 870]

Well, almost at least this afternoon (!)

Speed of sound at FL350 is around 574 knots.

Here is BAW161 zooming past Sweden at ground speed 601 knots.

However, I suspect that they have a little bit of
help for a strong south western jetstream.

Guess we can't complain if we are seeing aircraft going 2x simulator rate anymore then: "Well we have a strong jetstream"
