The highest groundspeed per type caught on camera

Light Aircraft
Aircraft Cirrus SR20
Company N.A.
Name Mike Radomsky
Date 13 Apr 2001
Groundspeed 225 kts
Notes Enroute from Palwaukee (KPWK) to Burke Lakefront (KBKL). Note that the airplane is in level flight. 225 kts is not normal territory for a 200HP, fixed gear, four-seat airplane!
TAS at the time was 157 knots at 9,000'. GS potential (if I'd been going in the right direction!) was 272 knots, as the (most unusual) wind was reported as 115 knots.
