Flew LaGuardia to Cleveland once in a 737. Massive tail wind and flight was super late and it had the after burners on. Heard pilots talking to each other saying they/we were close to Mach 1 ground speed when we departed the jet in Cle. And that was without gravity assist.
I am fairly certain there arent afterburners on 737s or any other commercial aircraft (maybe the concord?).
