There was one trip I was flying form FCM to CDW. I saw 410 knots for about
45 minutes at 25K in my lowly TSIO550 nonpressurized IV. Too bad- I kept
it in the Garmin flight statistics until they updated the software and
erased it. It is not uncommon to see 350 knots eastbound in the winter
winds. I guess the turbines are about 30 knots faster at altitude. Is that
worth twice the fuel burn?
