Friendship One, captained by none other than Clay Lacy, followed a 23,125-mile route from Seattle, Washington to refueling stops in Athens and Taipei, and back to Seattle. It completed the trip in 36 hours, 54 minutes, and 15 seconds. Later in 1988, a Gulfstream IV made a similar eastbound circumnavigation in 36 hours, 8 minutes, which stands as the world record as of 2013. (en)
