94 knots is close to my max speed!
Took my wife to brunch last week up to SSI in GA. Not surprisingly, it was busy for a weekday. I don't know what all these people do, but apparently they get paid a lot of money to not do it at work.
Last year I flew from Tucson to KSEE, which would normally be an easy 2.5 along the border up at 10K'. On that day I was finally shooting the RNAV into SEE 4.5 hours later. I had 50 knots in the face the entire time...just painful.

I normally do the BBQ, but we went with breakfast down in the village this time. It was excellent.
Why does it say "ROD" - isn't your name Chuck?
Yeah…and what’s that “Man In” stuff all about?Why does it say "ROD" - isn't your name Chuck?
You Sir are referring to the Rosewood VORTAC!!!!Why does it say "ROD" - isn't your name Chuck?
Clearly not turbo! - Maybe 26-28" in seal level takeoff power @ full throttle. Climb checklist says 23", Prop full forward/2400 RPM. and mixture to 15 GPH for duration of climb. Cruise at 7000' at full throttle is typically 23" / 2200 RPM / 12-13 GPH leaned to 50 degrees ROP. Cowl flaps closed!

Frank Robinson has died: official announcement.
An innovative man who's products have been controversial at best and detremental at worst to the helo training market. The fact that the low costs of these machines resulted in being embraced outside his vision for transport and recreation - instead being embraced by the training sector. A step back for helicopter aviation.
I remember having my eyes opened to that issue (R22 suitability as a trainer) after reading the "Your Trainer" section here: https://philip.greenspun.com/flying/helicopters
