Nonstop Around-the-World

Flying out of Fort Worth, Texas, a United States Air Force Boeing B-50 Superfortress named Lucky Lady II made the first non-stop around-the-world flight in February 1949.

With in-flight refueling, the 94-hour trip covered 23,452 miles at an average ground speed of 249 miles per hour.
