This A340-200 dubbed the "World Ranger" set a series of records by flying around the globe with only one refuelling stop. From Le Bourget, it flew to Auckland in New Zealand and after just five hours on the ground continued its flight around the world to land in Paris 48 hours and 22 minutes after setting out (source Airbus).
