Default Beechcraft sold

In all fairness, it picked up twenty knots.
With increased fuel burn, to match!


That's what fuel is for. Nothing is free.

It's pretty easy to fly faster if you burn more fuel.

There's an old joke:

What do Europeans do if they want to fly faster? They develop better
aerodynamics.

What do Americans do if they want to fly faster? They put in a bigger
engine.

(Just back from a 700nm trip at an average speed of 100 knots with a
fuel burn of 3.5 US gal/h of mogas. Or, in other words, more miles per
gallon than an average car.)
