kaz got to 249 because he was trying to do go for my 250,  
However I would argue AH is easier with no Ace / name tags and jets.    I did that streak in 3 days and said i'd never do it again just no fun!  but I guess Fester has done his in 5 or so.   It is an extremely difficult feat to accomplish and mainly down to pure luck and mental strength.  
How did you let a wirbelwind get you?
