Max groundspeed you have ever gotten?

[COOPERVANE]

Just wondering, what is the highest groundspeed you have ever gotten in an aircraft. What type/altitude/location?


(Subsonic, of course. No SR-71, Concorde or F104 pilots)

WTF is an SR-21?

Well just last week we had a 624kt G/s out of STL going to EWR, we were 40 mins early. That was in a EMB145!! Alt was FL370, and we were probably near IND by that point! I think the winds were around 260@192 up there!

231 kts. (level flight) in V35B going from PDK to CLE was the most unusual I've ever seen.

Took 2.7...not bad!

If I recall correcly, it was 630 kts from Calgary to Toronto in a Lear 55 with one heck of a tail wind.
