Heading to Greenville from Addison, Mother Nature gave a great push! Recorded 328 knots on the Garmin straight and level! Sure made for a shorter trip.

Best,

Ugh.. I was fighting that wind today in a fishing tournament in central Georgia. Whitecaps on a 220 acre lake means lotsa wind!

Doesn't count unless you got a picture, which I hope you did, 'cuz that's awesome.
 
I do have pics, but can't post until I setback to Dallas tomorrow. Was trying 235; the rest was tailwind.

I had that same wind... the other direction. And saw 125 over the ground at my worst point.

You have all the luck, Dave. :)
 
Here's the 530 showing ground speed and TAS computation.

I concur with Spike.

But yesterday I saw 220 or so in cruise on the 310... I didn't feel too shabby about that. :)
 
Dave,

Send it in to groundspeedrecords.com - The highest they've got for a 58P is 265!
 
Well, not quite as good as Dave: checkout 32755 on flight aware. Bodacious tailwind even for a 40 minute 7000 msl flight, and no headwind on the return!
