"Anyways Doc, how did your Bonanza get that fast?"

thrust clb - if you look back through the posts you'll see that I did explain it (sub-jetstream!). Was just having a bit of fun to illustrate that all may not be quite as it seems. I ran a GPS simulator program on the tablet computer that has my FliteDeck moving map program, and set the waypoints for YLRE - YBTL with a GS of 842 kts - and then took a pic of it.

I later did it again with the GS set to 10,000 kts - man does that cover some country!

To date the best GS I have had in the V35B is 204 kts on descent into Cairns last year. I was about to pull out and pass a Dash 8 when ATC noticed the rate of closure - and vectored me out to sea!
