That is an amazing feat!


Does anyone know if his Nimbus 4DM has had special
modifications to increase the vne at altitude, or does
he just not care about operating limitations?

When you are cruising at 20,000' to 30,000', doesn't the effect of
altitude cause IAS to be substantially less than ground speed?
