If you can squeeze every ounce of performance out of the maddog on every flight, you'd have a shot at taking Co-chair of resident "Sky-god" along with NewK.

Does anybody know what ever happened with Delta Private Jets flying aircraft that violated the weight restrictions in our scope clause? Did management respond to that violation? Are they still flying? Thanks.

Speaking of records - Once saw 651 KTs groundspeed on the Maddogs military cousin, the USN C-9B. We were flying over SW Japan in the high twenties in March. They turned us about 45 degrees off of the wind and our GS shot up over 600 KTs so when we got another turn almost completely downwind we bumped our speed up to the clacker (.84M) which resulted in a 651 Kt groundspeed. We figure we had close to a 170 KT tailwind.
Anyone have better than 651 KTS Groundspeed? And before all you TACAIR types chime in, I am strictly referring to transport and commercial type aircraft.
Scoop
PS - And yes, we did take a picture of the FMS to prove it later on at the Atsugi O Club.

An A-37 crew pre-breathed oxygen and then flew @ 35,000 ft. It was a photo chase of an A-10 windshield washer test when AFFTC was looking for a solution to the gun-gas residue problem. They had to be very careful with the throttles to avoid engine rollback, but otherwise the SuperTweet did fine up there.

On a flight from Cubi Point to Kadena we got a P-3 going 11 knots backwards.
Same wind, same altitude. Around 170-180 kts headwind. Dropped the flaps and slowed down and actually went backwards.

Anyone on Reserve use IcrewMax?
I ask specifically about reserve because the old version wasn't very reserve friendly. With the new version, if you get assigned a trip, update IcrewMax, will it show your trip on your line? Does it ask for acknowledgement for assigned trips? Can you see a trip without acknowledgement?
Thanks.

You are greatly overestimating the efficacy of your union reps, as well as the communication chain between them, Compass management, and finally down to Cpz line pilots. IF Compass management actually received a complaint about PA's referring to "Delta" not followed by the (willfully deceptive) addendum "Connection", they wouldn't care. And if they cared, they would take so long to communicate (if they remembered at all) a reproach to the offending crews that the force of the point would be lost. The same, I'm afraid to say, would be likely be true if this complaint would be carried through strictly Union channels.

Use the square brackets ][ to enclose the code that appears after the equal sign in the youtube address.
for example (Using parentheses in place of the square brackets)=
typing --- (youtube)vrCvLOpLKQ89(/youtube)
would display this:
