I'm envious; it seldom blows that hard this far south. Best I've ever
done is about 185, but a Lake Charles controller *did* ask me to verify
type aircraft.

Had a controller ask me the same thing,for the opposite reason.
On initial contact I stated "Fairchild 627". Apparently I wasn't moving as
fast as expected,guess she thought I was a turboprop.
She asked "what kind of Fairchild?"
My response,"1939 Fairchild 24", she ack.and cleared two others to land
ahead of me. 8-)
