When do we know?

I'm just south of the airport. Will be watching. With that paint colors shouldn't be hard to see.View attachment 75400

I'm guessing they'll be staying at a hotel in Ankeny tonight. Sure hope there won't be any 3am fire alarms.
 
They're moving right along. They planned to go 429 mph and are hitting 451 mph
I was noting the pretty linear increase in speed. I am guessing that is due to the plane getting lighter as it burns fuel but I'm sure someone on here could probably say with more real knowledge. 10-15 tons of fuel seems like it could make a big difference in a plane's speed.

Do they have a steadily increasing tailwind?
