Sort of unlimited number but the achievements are always listed with a +, such as 2200+ mph is the top speed....at 80,000+ feet....that sort of thing. Mach 3.3 they say.

I'm trying to think of good keywords to use in a search. "Blackbird", "speed"... it'll be hard to pin down, because there is a lot of mythology, so we'll have to include some word to make sure it's verified. "Check" maybe. We're also interested in speed over ground, as while airspeed's a good ultimate (good word to include) upper limit, we need it related. blackbird ultimate ground speed check...

Good solid logic figuring out the search terms there. I'll have to try that.

Looks like autocorrect won that battle.

fix-ed. I try anyway. It's a shame really, I try hard but I mostly end up being a spelling terrorist against my will. Sigh.

You know you're having a roughish day when you think of an actual bird before you realize that you meant the plane...

We may need Houston Central to give us a ground speed check to figure that one out..

Ask Gamecat or the 386,918 people who viewed this.

Well it really depends if it is carrying cocoanuts or not.

I only know that a swallow can beat it's wings 32 times every second. Am I right?
