A Pan Am Boeing 747 sets a round-the-world record.

Liberty Bell Express, a Boeing 747SP-21 named Clipper Liberty Bell, broke the commercial round-the-world record set by a Flying Tiger Line Boeing 707 with a new record of 46 hours, 50 seconds.

The flight beat the Flying Tiger Line’s record by 16 hours 24 minutes…..

https://breakingdefense.com/2018/03/sikorsky-flies-triple-threat-for-fvl-light-medium-robot/

CRYSTAL CITY: This is the year Sikorsky catches up on the Future Vertical Lift program, company executives told reporters Monday.

My first flight was on TI, MKE to IAH, early 80's. My aunt worked there for years. TI people will remind you that they took over Continental, not the other way around.
