NJI Record Flight?

[gutshotdraw]

I did Dulles to Maui last summer, and it was just under 10 hours (felt like 48 with the guy I was with :bawling: ). They must have been booking!

Anything under 10 hours is like a drive through the neighborhood. At 14.5 is when I start yearning for the ground!

I'm guessing one of maybe three guys for that one. No wonder you headed north .

Having flown many a trans-con, and just running the numbers in my mind, you are correct. They had to be hauling ass. They had to hit the coast at somewhere around 4:30 in the flight, that is moving. Any time you can cross the country in less the 5hrs is good time.

The jet stream must have been way north.

I checked the wind right after GVFlyer made his post. N509QS had an average 40 knot headwind so he had to be truing out at around 500 knots!

Yea I will buy that. .85 just like I said.

Uh...M0.85 is 488 knots at the tropopause. M0.87 is 499 knots.

Well I am not going to argue over 12 kts. When you figure in temp,ram rise, and compressability. "O" heck with it, I don't know what I am talking about..
You Win.

He must be flying. I'll answer for him: d.

Wolfie is "temporarily" assigned to the NJI Bradley Beach Club.

Sorry Boys, I was drinking beer with my neighbor!


I am on "loan" to the fine folks at BDL. They have to keep 2 planes on that certificate, and the King Air is gone. So they added another V (and the pilots with it).

Its all still up in the air on any long term plans. So for now, Billy puts the gear up and gets a bananna, he puts the gear down and gets 2 banannas. Then I go into the FBO and sling Poo:laugh: .

There's some good guys at Bradley and with the Spring in full swing those crystal clear streams and lakes up there are brimming with hungry fish.

They don't have any GIV's up there. Huh? Don't suppose you might be trying to work a deal. Things might get Bonko up there (Inside Joke):beer:
