    Aircraft BE-55 Baron Airline Private
    Notes: N7821R is my 1969 B-55 Baron with IO-470L's, level flight on top at 7000' MSL eastbound over Waukesha, WI (KUES), just northwest of Milwaukee. Perfectly smooth ride on top, but quite turbulent underneath with surface gusts to 40 knots in the area. Exceptional tailwind this low, almost 70 knots.
