groundspeeds

The ground speeds I've seen the last few days flying in the East and North Central have been incredible!

Same Here. Eastbound has been terrific almost record breaking and westbound has been "like a heard of turtles crossing the road in TX".

Just curious how many jumpers missed the field? That's a good time jumping in winds like that

 

[Sgt. Hartman]

645 over the ground last week from stl to vxv on the way to clt!

 

[hdpilot50]

Just curious how many jumpers missed the field? That's a good time jumping in winds like that

out of the "brave", or shall we call idiots, 8 jumpers...6 made it back. two of them turn base waaaay too late. one of the jumper's canopy folded-in because the winds were rolling off the line of trees

all it took was one load to call it the day...usually its a few till the dumbass' almost kill themselves

 

[CopilotDoug]

78mph indicated in a Chevy Cavalier. The GPS was out, so I couldn't get an accurate groundspeed reading.
