Let's see.

You're level at FL250, headed more or less east, 470NM WSW of Charlottesville.

And you have some freaking huge tailwind! What's that, about 140IAS and 290 GS?

Wow.

Gee, Dave. I'd have figured you've done this enough to not need help like this.

Mark:

You're right on. Notice the indicated airspeed. Fuel flow and RPM. We were truing about 190 at FL250. We landing in Charlottesville with 3/4s of a tank on each main. (You can't see tip tank fuel in these pics).

Turbos can be great fun sometimes!!

I drop someone at CHO on the way to Norfolk. They have business and family there. I'll be stopping at RDU this next trip to drop someone.

We actually showed 300 knots grounds speed when I began a descent!!

Hey, Greg, is OKV going to do anything about rental cars at the airport? It's been a real PITA... last time I had to go into MRB just 'cause of rental cars because OKV said that Enterprise wouldn't deliver there any more & Hertz is "difficult"...

I've got property on Great North Mountain & I'm up there several times a year.
