| Notes |
This was coming back home to Spirit of St. Louis (KSUS) after
dropping people off in Lajitas, TX (89TE). Lajitas is a private
airstrip right on the Mexican border with not much more than
a slab of concrete and a windsock. That place is so desolate
it looked like we were about to land on Mars. On the way home
the jetstream was right on our tail at about 140 KTS.
My pal Julie had the previous record at 605 KTS, so, Julie,
I finally beat you!!
