Aircraft Grumman AA5B Tiger
Company N.A.
Name Bill Boggs
Date 27 Jan 2007
Groundspeed 190 kts
Notes I didn't have a camera at the time, but have kept the Max Speed as displayed in this photo in my GPS for bragging rights. I see someone got 200KTS in their AG5B, and we probably could have done that or more if we could have turned further south to put the wind directly on our tail, but we were east bound, just north of the Washington ADIZ at the time and figured doing 200 knots right towards DC would attract unwanted attention. I think I should also note that we were on a short flight and were only at 5500 feet.
