I flew a J-3 up at Buffalo, NY in early '43, and recall looking out
the side while doing a little pilotage and observing cars passing me
on the ground while I was indicating about 65 mph. I'll fess up to a
20 mph headwind, so it wasn't all that outrageous! (^-^)))


It's not too hard to be passed by cars when in slow flight. What was insulting
to me was flying some photographers around the old Charlotte Motor Speedway (now
Lowes) in a C-182 and being passed by the race cars... and I was running at 75%
power!
