Ben Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Gulfstream Breaks 44-Year-Old Record" 03-10-02, 09:01z  From EAA: "Two Gulfstream V demonstration pilots appear to have broken a 44-year-old record for Speed Over a Recognized Course on March 5 with their 11-hour, 54 minute flight from Tokyo to Washington. Pilots Gregory S. Sheldon and Robert S. McKenney and four passengers flew the 6,739-mile trip at an average speed of 566 mph, breaking the old mark set in a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker on April 8, 1958. That flight was made in 13 hours and 46 minutes, for an average speed of 492."
