I feel the need, the need for speed

This morning I noticed the winds aloft were really screaming.  I took advantage of this to set a new personal ground speed record for my plane.  I climbed to 13,500 feet just West of Jacksonville and then began a gentle descent heading downwind.

The indicated airspeed was 154 knots, the True Airspeed was 191 knots and the Ground speed was 264 knots.  This is 303.6 mph.

Beech Tales is a new blogging project.  I intend to document my flying and aspects of traveling by light aircraft.  I am no stranger to blogging.  I recently completed another travel blogging project that spanned 2 years.  In that blog I posted almost daily but I have no such ambitions with this blog.  My intention is to let it grow at its own pace.  It will likely be a mixture of flight reports, fun pictures, comments on destinations visited and general information about my plane and me.
