Was in a southwest Jumpseat and we had hit 700 ground speed . Even the controller said he had only seen that a few times in his career.

Just once I'd like to try to go back wards if I saw those winds.

We actually hit 702 the night that photo was taken. We had to ask for 10 right for a buildup (which didn't exist, needed more tailwind) but got a descent and only had 702 for a short time. It lasted exactly one second shorter than it took for my Zack Morris phone camera to boot up.
