Notes:Enroute from Washington to Cologne, inbound Nantucket almost abeam New York, climbing through FL 300 with a good TAS and wind we got a very good GS of 674Kts!!! We were a little bit happy, I don`t know why. Maybe because the forecasted winds were that precise and we could beat a record :-D. Over the Atlantic (FL370) we wondered why we are so slow with about 600Kts GS... :-P. Great day, nice landing Sir!

Notes:Wow. Never had such a rough ride. Somewhere between Beijing and Narita, Tokyo. The 310 has a Turbulance penetration speed of M.78. Could have gone higher but wouldn't have been fun for the folks who paid for the ride.

Notes:Enroute from Boston, Massachusetts to Ponta Delgada, Portugal on Flight RZO220 (Call Sign Azores 220).
The winds were nice for a Ground Speed record beat, and at that moment we were deep inside the Jet-Stream. No turbulence by then, but after 45 minutes it started with continued light to medium chops.
