Default Amazing speeds at Hobbs 18M USA Nationals

The speeds today were phenomenal (111 mph, 179 kph) over a course that
was 450 miles (725 km). Top eight finishers over 100 mph. Last two
days have been great, looks like a rest day tomorrow.

Truly impressive when great conditions can be exploited by great pilots using great machines!
