Is this a world record? Two pilots travel 48 US states in less than 48 hours

Captains Barry Behnfeldt and Aaron Wilson of Delta Air Line completed their goal of stopping in all 48 states in 44 hours and seven minutes, according to a statement released by the carrier. The duo is also a pair of US military veterans. With the world record attempt, the duo has reportedly sought to raise funds for the Veteran’s Airlift Command, an organisation that reports say provides free, private air travel for combat-injured US military veterans.
