had 582 the other day from Aus to Mem with a 104 direct tailwind. The captain I flew with said it broke his previous record of 575 in the avro, so it took him 11 years to set his highest record, it took me 6 months

410 in the Saab going down hill from BIS a few years back. Got up in to the high winds at 200+ and grabed the wind and blew!
Colder then hell and the wind blowing staight at MSP. And that was DME speed when the Magic Box was switched off, colored off, and disconected to top it off. Just to be sure it didn't accidently turn on.

Got a ground speed of 627 last night. A straight tailwind of 146 at FL320, but man did we pay for that this morning. Somehow we still ended up overblock last night. (thanks rampies, NOT)

Is it too early to determine what the 11/17 and 12/1 class may consist of?

I guess I'll be DTW, then. I'm second to last in the class roster, and it goes by age...so I guess there'd be no way to get MSP. 
I guess I can't be so picky, after all. 
Anyone else staying in the Staybridge Suites? I'm sure the Nov. 3rd guys got the e-mail...?
