Just as far away as usual. Airspeed was quite normal, it was the tailwind that did it and that just gets added to your airspeed. Mach .92 is Vne, I don't think any responsible airline pilot would want to test the limit on that one.

Not OP, but here's a photo of a 167mph tailwind from HK -> SF https://imgur.com/a/PHCiD groundspeed was 751mph! Aboard a 747 too

Not closer than usual I'd say, it is just the volume of air the plane is flying in that moves over the ground. Like moving an aquarium in a car with fishes calmly swimming inside.
