205 mph ground speed. Not for the whole flight, unfortunately.
Set a personal best on a flight back from Florida.

Wow! Good thing you weren't trying to fly to Florida, huh?

No, that was three days before when my ground speed was 114 miles an hour with a 50 mile an hour headwind. Still, I don’t think I broke even on the gas. I look forward to my imminent retirement when I can pick the weather.

My PA28R200 can't get to 205mph! Are you sure you don't have the turbo arrow? Or did I just buy a lemon?
(jkjk I think my personal best with a nice westerly tailwind was 190mph over the ground)

This is aviation, all speeds should be in knots.

Have you washed your plane recently?
