Bill, no pictures so it did not happen (me not you) , but yesterday I was doing some Phase I at 9000ft and only had a 72KT tailwind, for a GS of 248kts. 46F OAT, but temps below 3500 were 34F.
OK, OK . . . so pictures next time.

Me To
Did the 200+ knot thing. Straight and level at 5500ft, WOT, full rich, with a pretty good tail wind - parking brake not engaged  .
Posted this before but here's my RV looking fast on the ground.
