Wanna set a speed record? from DailyAviator by Dennis Collins
One of the ways aviation was first promoted, beginning a century ago, was by the official recognition of records. In that way pilots were encouraged to fly farther, higher and faster in various types of aircraft, and the media attention these actions drew advanced aviation and attracted money. Between the aging of the pilot population, and the current economic difficulties, maybe it would be a good time to set some records…
