Congrats on the 200 KT Club, I managed to reach that goal as well on Saturday. I had a little help from mother nature with a little push out of the south. Still was exciting..... Ok, allot of help !!! lol

Today was the day. 210 knots ground speed, admittedly in the descent.
Also set an altitude record for us -- 15,500'. I was trying for 17,500, but ran out of time on the flight from McAllen to Port Aransas, TX.
It was a beautiful day down on the gulf coast. 73 degrees, and gloriously sunny!

Joining the Atlantic Track 'U' on Thursday evening, we had a 212kt Tailwind !!!
At .82 that made us supersonic across the ground - quite a feeling
Smooth as silk as well.

230knots
232 knots yesterday in central florida
Had a 35 knot tailwind. = 266mph.
I'm guessing every Rv model except the 12 could have joined "the club" yesterday.

Tailwinds are a funny thing. We always want them, but we have so much less time to enjoy them than we suffer through the killer headwinds. Has anybody ever flown past their planned destination just to enjoy the tailwinds longer?

Jesse,
Yup! A few years ago I picked up my son from college and on the way home encountered 70 mph headwinds. The trucks on the x-way were making better headway than I was. Just for the fun of it, turned around to see just how fast we really could go. Problem is, that 10 minute joy ride cost me a half hour getting back.
