Can I sprint while flying in creative mode?

Question

Can I sprint while flying in Creative Mode to move faster?

Answer

Yes, as lunbooks explained you can sprint-fly by sprinting and then flying. I've ran a couple tests, and it doesn't actually make you go faster; count in the longer set up time and it's slower.

I've put up a 100m course, where I fly straight for 100 meters. I get myself a few meters for getting a running start, so that this doesn't skew the results. Here's the result. Make sure subtitles are on.

For those who can't view Youtube: once you remove the set up time, the speed is just about the same. Flying without sprinting oddly wins by a couple tenths (9.33 vs 9.38, roughly), but I just put it to a problem that exists between my monitor and my chain (was I perfectly centered? perfectly aligned? did I avoid swerving at all? etc.).
