Were you IFR or VFR flight following? I've noticed that FlightAware tracking
when VFR flight following is spotty at best. I spoke to a FlightAware rep at
Sun 'n Fun a couple of years ago. He said that they just pull data from the
FAA, and that VFR flight following doesn't always show up on the system.

Subject: [LML] flightaware - question

Dear subscribers,

On 11/9/2013 I flew from 5G7 (Ohio) to MYR (South Carolina) and back on the
same day. I had a great tailwind at FL230 going south and I recall seeing
ground speeds up to 315 kts at one point.

When I try to look up the flight on flightaware I just see the slow flight
coming back - the fast flight going south is missing.

I recall that this happened at least two more times so far: The flight going
somewhere with a strong tailwind and ground speeds >300kts is missing and
the flight back on the same day is there.

Is this just a coincident or has someone else experienced something similar?

Ralf
