Interesting weather in the SE this morning. Had to fly my Mooney from east side of Atlanta to Greenville, SC 144nm. Took off with a 500' ceiling, climbed to 7,000' where a 60kt !!! tailwind was giving me 215kt groundspeed at 8gph. In a little over a half hour I was on the ILS5 at KGYH breaking out at 300' . Definitely a fun flight.
Coming back after lunch I filed for 3,000' and still only had a groundspeed of about 110kts. Not so much fun.
Anybody else catch this strong southeasterly flow today?
