This scenic tour will be located in Florida starting at Miami.

...

The last tour was a good experience. The server crashed so i didn't have time to finish it. This tour will be shorter also.

We will start at Burrs Strip (14FA) and fly towards the midway point Tavernaero Park (FA81) and land at Key West (KNQX)

Aircraft are hi speed props. A King Air would be a great plane to use. No jets or military aircraft.

Speed Limit is 200+
IP: 85.10.244.109

Time: 12:00P.M. Pacific 2/10/07 Saturday
Eastern 3:00 P.M.
Central 2:00 P.M.
GMT 8:00 P.M.

FLIGHT PLAN
2000FT, speed 180-200, GPS Heading, ETE 1hr+

...speed limit...200+... Shocked...!

More than 200 knots!...That lets out most of the default General Aviation piston props... Cry...!

A maximum speed limit of 180 knots (or less) might be more preferable... Roll Eyes...?

Paul...G-BPLF... Cool...!

Again with this... how can "more than 200" be a limit? Do we perhaps mean... "up to 200"?
If so, that would be written as "<200 kts".
Or it could say "speed limit: 200 knots."
But I agree with Foz... even a top limit of 200 knots rules out most of the light pistons, even twins.

It was mostly in Beech King Air planes. We were all flying around with full throttle through the islands at about 240 knots, holding about 2000 feet.
