One of the dumber things I've ever seen on this site.

Now the claim is that a few pixels of video is a better measurement for speed than on-board GPS. .........Riiiiiighhht!

I've been working the flightline at jet meets for the better part of 10 years. Standing out there all day I've seen some fast stuff. That one shot of the trance arcing back past the parking area looks pretty fast. But then, it's just video - without 3d reference, I can't tell, and niether can you.

Get a grip. Must be a troll.
