Eastern sea board to Lye today in less than 5 hours, probably a bit too quick for you but we, as a crew found it very satisfying
Before I packed in, I got used to cruising at 0.83M with barely a ripple in my tea cup.

Once in Herc at FL350 over Canada (no RVSM those days), we were asked OUR mach no. - I think it was about 0.50 (with many ripples in the tea).

However, I do thank the Hercules for not needing an expensive stereo.

On balance, I'll stick to writing checklists and sleeping in my bed.

Take care guys and fly safely when you can, and cannily when you can't.
