Hello from 32,000 feet over the Atlantic, just off the southern tip of Greenland. One the way out last Saturday there was an enormous tailwind and we had a ground speed of over 800 mph. Isn’t technology insane?

Nice!! I always enjoy being on an aircraft where I can track my location! Was on one recently where you can even view "downwards and forwards"!! I watched my house go by when we landed!

Glad it wasn't a head wind, you would have stalled out.

I think my plane just missed the record speed.

You were also flying in the same direction of the earth's rotation (1000 miles per hour)

Are you bringing back any 'goodies' that you can share with the 'class'?

Neat. It's nice when you have a good tail wind. Sucks when you're coming back though and have a strong head wind.

You were also flying in the same direction of the earth's rotation (1000 miles per hour) they used a conveyor belt for take off to gain momentum.
