I was fortunate enough to break the sound barrier on a commerial flight back from Florida.
My family were the last to leave the plane at the time and as the captain opened to cockpit door one of my sons asked how fast we had went. His reply was that we had a 180mph tail wind and technically broke the sound barrier, a first for him too.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that he had me to thank as I had ate baked beans the night before.
