RE: Lancair Legacy
Hate to burst your bubble, but the world record was broken last year by the Thunder Mustang.
June 23, 2005
Blue Thunder Air Racing is proud to announce that on Saturday June 4th, John Parker piloting Blue Thunder, set two new world speed records during the EAA Golden West Regional Fly-In and Air Show in Marysville, CA. The Class C1c 3km world record was upped 30mph to 374mph. In the same class, the 15/25km world record was upped 75mph to 376mph.
Blue Thunder’s fastest pass was an astonishing 383mph, making Blue Thunder without a doubt, the world fastest normally aspirated aircraft.
If it makes you feel any better, Darryl Greenamayer flying a Lancair Legacy won Gold for the fourth time in a row at 364.9 mph.
