Jet Tankers Set London New York Flight Record
Two United States Air Force KC 135 tankers broke the London to New York speed record last week and nearly beat the sun on the return. Alpha completed London to New York in 3 hours 51 minutes 248 seconds, with Bravo 2 minutes longer, while the eastbound flight set 5 hours 27 minutes 42 seconds. A third ship crashed after takeoff from Westover Air Force Base, Mass, killing all aboard including a newsman.
