In appropriate name. Not everyone in this world is American.martianlostinspace 14:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

transatlantic

To solve POV, the transatlantic speed record should be added, and perhaps this should be renamed the long distance air speed records, with around-the-world also added. 70.55.200.211 (talk) 02:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore my first comment. I see he made the return trip shorter 75.189.247.70 (talk) 19:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC) DEL[reply]

Earhart beat Nichols' record

I don't agree with this article only listing Ruth Nichols' 1930 record in the women's transcontinental airspeed record category, since it was beaten in 1933 by Amelia Earhart flying a Lockheed Vega 5-B (for more info on this, please see the article Amelia Earhart, where all her flying records are listed in chronological order). And just to be fair, I have also read that Jackie Cochran may have later beat AE's record as well (not really sure if that info is correct, though). Also, it's very likely that some other woman pilot later set a new women's transcontinental record. So, with all due respect, this category really needs to be brought up to date.

More info on this matter: I looked this up on Google just the other day and found the exact time for AE's transcontinental flight: 13 hours 7 1/2 minutes.

Merge

Someone proposed a merge between Transcontinental flight across the United States and Cross-America flight air speed record. They seem to cover the same subject, although one is verbose (covering history) and the other is a list of records. I prefer the first name. If there are any records for Canada and Mexico they might be included, with a name change. TGCP (talk) 20:10, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
