Question

The first Untied States transcontinental flight took place in what year?

Answer 1

On July 16, 1957, Glenn completed the first supersonic transcontinental flight in a Vought F8U Crusader. The California to New York flight took 3 hours, 23 minutes and 8 seconds. As Glenn passed over his hometown, a child in the neighborhood reportedly ran to the Glenn house shouting "Johnny dropped a bomb! Johnny dropped a bomb! Johnny dropped a bomb!" as the sonic boom shook the town.

Answer 2

Nope, Cal Rogers in his Wright Model B in 1911. It wasn't non-stop of course (far from it) but it is a fascinating story. Here's a link describing the Odyssey: http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/...

Answer 3

1923

First nonstop transcontinental flight. Lts. John A. Macready and Oakley Kelly flew a single-engine Fokker T-2 nonstop from New York to San Diego, a distance of just over 2,500 mi in 26 hr., 50 min. (May 2–3).
