Sweet. 

They haven't gone above 8,600 ft.  Don't they know they can save fuel by flying at 30k?

Is that illegal?


Edit: Yes it is. However the rule states that it is indicated airspeed, not ground speed. For obvious reasons the GPS tracking system can only record ground speed. At 10,000ft 250kt indicated is about 300kt TAS and depending on wind conditions the ground speed can be even higher.

I had a formation of UH-60s fly over the house yesterday at a couple hundred feet. Red Flag ops up here at the moment, great stuff  :aok
