Notes

I had recently purchased a portable O2 system, and with forecast high winds at altitude, it seemed like the day to play. I went up to 17500' and found some 80 knot winds in smooth air. I amused myself with a 1 kt hover, then turned around for a Vno dive with the tailwind.

For the purists, the level flight groundspeed was about 200 kts.
