Finally I got to the 200kt club...ok it was GS, but It is the first time I've ever seen this GS while PIC. I snapped a couple unreadable EFIS pics and this bad GPS shot. 203kts(233mph) with a small tailwind

I found enough smooth air to shove the throttle forward finally. 6200', WOT, 25.5"mp, 2550rpm I was seeing 193kts TAS. I don't have pic but the vision is stuck in my head.

It was a beautiful evening and I snapped this phone pic as I tucked Aurora away.
