Let "Virdžin Atlantika" iz Los Anđelesa za London dostigao je neverovatnih 1.289 kilometara na čas u ponedeljak uveče na 10.668 kilometara iznad Pensilvanije uz pomoć snažnog vetra.

"Nikada nisam video ništa slično u čitavoj svojoj pilotskoj karijeri", napisao je na svom Tviter nalogu Piter Džejms, kapetan putničkog aviona.

758 MPH: The jet stream is so strong over the US right now... that @VirginAtlantic Flight 8 from LAX to London is whipping above Kansas at a ground speed of 758 miles an hour. That's almost the speed of sound... #CAwx @KPIXtv pic.twitter.com/xni0IuKO5Z
