Default Flight across the continent! - part 2
After takeoff at North Platte, we actually saw (briefly) a ground speed on the GPS of 31kts!!

One trip a few years ago, El Paso to Tucson at the MEA of 12,000 ft, I
had a GPS ground speed for a portion of the flight in cruise of 27 kts.
In a Mooney. Well over 100 kt headwinds.
