UA182 (B789 N25982), en route from Denver to Frankfurt Monday, reached 800 mph/695 KQ ground speed over Minnesota
Twitter post by W. Kentucky TV meteorologist, Noah Bergren (@NbergWX). Many eastbound flights shave-off considerable time now thanks to current jet stream speeds near 200 mph at FL34. For westbound flights the opposite is true, adding more twists to already jumbled timetables. For examples of other recently affected flights, see this story (paywall rules permitting) by DC meteorologist, Matthew Cappucci: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/12/29/jet-stream-flights-december.

While fast, it is not hard to understand, at least for some of us, that ground speed is not equivalent to true air speed.
No problem. I’d have done the same. I don’t want to be anywhere near MN in the Winter!!! ð¬
We did 802 the same day from KEGE to KFCM. Got the pics to prove it
