Hi all,

I’ve just started a new website about “Commercial Aircraft Groundspeed Records”.
It contains a database of most common aircraft and it’s current “Groundspeed Record” caught on camera.

Ever had that feeling of having that perfect tailwind resulting in such a high groundspeed that you were thinking: "I wonder if anyone has ever flown this fast?"
Well, this is the way to find out!

Take a picture of that special moment and share it with us so we can all enjoy it.

We’ll put it into a database together with some more information, maybe even a personal note of yourself about that day, and let's see when (or if) anyone will ever be able to improve your speed record.

Check it out at http://www.speedrecords.tk

Enjoy,
Whisky

Fun idea, but what is to stop someone from taking a shot from in the simulator? Looks just like a night flight to me...

I know the problem, let's just hope for "honost" pictures to keep it fun.

Greetings,

Hi again,

On request of many of you I have expanded the aircraft database on my site.
I've now included a database for Executive Jets, (smaller) turboprops (like King Air, Twin Otter etc) and even a database for light twins.

So from now on everybody flying some kind of twin can sent in their pictures.

Enjoy!!!
Whisky

p.s. Don't forget your camera on your next flight!
