RE: Census of Hotspots !!!
Hello
No, not a typo. The 555 was recorded at an open day we had at our international airport on new years eve a few years back. 555.3 to be exact. Even I was a surprised by that. There were many people there to witness that, some are on here too like Chris and Jim. The 480 km\h is what I would get on an average flight without pushing too much.
NOTE even though we do not have speed restriction here, all this is done with great care and safety in mind. I used to fly from a remote disused airbase and on salt flats.
