At 160 knots: "we weren’t really flying, but were falling in a slight bank" That's 184 mph! Nearly the top speed of the only plane I've ever flown (Cessna 172)

That's 184 mph! Nearly the top speed of the only plane I've ever flown (Cessna 172). We never got near that speed, and I still thought we were going crazy fast.
Great story! Thanks for posting that link.
