My highest groundspeed so far
#7
I'm impressed that you had taken a pic! In all the years working at the ATC in Oakland (well, Fremont actually), the highest I ever saw from airliners was about 635kts. Jetstream at about 150kts on the tail, at M.85 or so.
Fastest ever was about 1800kts, SR-71 routinely flying in and out of Beale AFB. I tried tracking a missile off Vandeberg AFB at about 3000kts, but obviously no transponder to lock a tag on.
For myself, flying in the little Barbie Jet, about the same, 630kts GS, 480-ish TAS somewhere in North America. There's no jet stream where I've been flying that last couple years.
