Racing Into 2013

 N61US reached a top speed for 2013 in a descent 01/07/2013.  215 knots over the ground.  The bottom right of the picture shows that in 9 minutes and 45 seconds we made it from KRFD (Rockford) border to 3CK (Lake In The Hills Airport)...What a ride !!!
Rockford Air Traffic Control: "N61US Welcome Home, Wow your haulin'!"


N61US reached a top straight and level cruise speed for 2013 in straight and level flight.  197 knots over the ground.  The picture shows that crossing the Iowa/Illinois border to 3CK (Lake In The Hills Airport) is ~92 miles to be traveled in less than 28 minutes.  We actually made it faster due to the 215 knot descent above!
