Hi Richard
Sorry guys for not mentioning speed, but your quote Richard is a little shy
of the maximum speed of a Mossy. Many pilots claimed speeds of over 500 MPH
in level flight. The highest recorded speed achieved in level flight,
however, was 439 MPH on November 1942 during a series of test flights.
