212 - The morning paper ran stories of trees falling down at the time we were flying so it was no ordinary night and that was the point of my post. Of course it will do 165-30 starting at 500' with the needles in the middle but on that wild night 130 was as fast as we wanted to go due to the turbulence - ie for physical comfort and the feeling that something might fall off if we went faster. When there is a 70kt crosswind (OK 50 lower down) slowing to 30kts would be a bad idea.
