| Notes |
On the way back from JFK to ORY, on
track X at FL380 and 030W, we get some winds of up to 200kts full
tail.
I remembered we had to delay our departure to avoid to land earlier
than 0600L in ORY and pay some penalties.
I passed the information on to our passengers before the flight,
telling that according to our flight plan we should reach the
speed of sound in ground speed and they were very excited about
it. Of course had to answer tons of questions, very funny...
In flight, we were about 60 NM right from the core of the jet
stream and it was exceptionally smooth for the circumstances.
Was flying M.80 but the TAT was a kind of warm. I did not know
about the existence of this site and was recommended by a former
record breaker (sorry Ch...), thanks. Flight time to ORY was 05h40.
My wife was surprised to feel me early in bed... I checked, nobody
in the wardrobe ;-) |
