What does "bug speed" mean?
I was reading a CVR transcript (Eastern Airlines 242) and saw this transmission: "What’s our speed? Let’s see, what’s our weight? Get me a bug speed." What is "bug speed"? A cursory search struck out. Thanks in advance - B

Thanks in advance - B Probably reference to an adjustable marker on an airspeed indicator that can be set, by the pilot, at a target speed, so that he doesn't have to remember it (and possibly remember it wrongly).
