Hit a 395 knot GS at one point.
Where is the GS displayed?
I also can’t find the VS…
GS not on that display only the wind vector. VS to right of altimeter tape. Black box means level flight.
A 100-110 knot turbulent headwind all the way from FL200-380 Cologne back to UK. Came back at FL400 and it was 80 knots and smooth. Thankful for a Troposphere.
At least it was down to a gentle 12knot crosswind on landing. Unlike EDDB yesterday morning…

Yesterday morning was indeed interesting. Quite smooth during cruise (we were only at FL300 or so) but already with more than 100KT wind from the north-west. On landing at EDVE we had a westerly wind with 25kt gusting to 40…45. The last part of the landing is over some trees which makes it even more turbulent. After landing, one of the passengers commented “I really didn’t think we were going to land”.
Yes I had:

The weather this last week has made me glad I’m back flying something with 65t of inertia for the winter rather than 8.5t!
Winter ops is coming with the north wind this weekend too…

Hey I am enjoying 4t vs 2.3t!
I enjoy 1.45t vs 1.05 ;-)

This makes me wonder what crosswind landing technique is used in the Mustang, as well as in larger jets. I often get the impression the larger ones land in a crab. Are the ones with engines on the wings as opposed to on the fuselage limited in terms of how much sideslip (wing low) can be used?
