Jetstar cruise speed?

[FN FAL]

got the needed info, thanks guys

Mid America Jet, out of OWB Kentucky used to operate one part 91. If you need to ask an owner what it costs to run one...I'd give them a call. Looked like a neat plane...

We just had one come into OUN a few days ago, from what i understand they were flying a television evangelist. It was my first time to see one actually flying. It looked as thought they kept it up pretty nice, i also noticed it has stage 3 hush kits on the engines. They are pretty quick according to our flight track they were making 430 knot ground speed coming from the south.

I don't know if I would call the "quick", 430 equates to about Mach .75 or so...

it all depends what you compare it to i suppose, i think its normal cruise speed is about 440 kts with its max being just under 500 kts.

also take into account my experience is coming from piston props, One time i hit 159 knot ground speed in a 172 and i thought my hair was on fire.....
