Notes:This was coming back home to Spirit of St. Louis (KSUS) after dropping people off in Lajitas, TX (89TE). Lajitas is a private airstrip right on the Mexican border with not much more than a slab of concrete and a windsock. That place is so desolate it looked like we were about to land on Mars. On the way home the jetstream was right on our tail at about 140 KTS.
My pal Julie had the previous record at 605 KTS, so, Julie, I finally beat you!!
