A friend posted this screenshot of his waze. Speed seems nearly impossible. I couldn't figure it out until he told me- any guesses? :)

ETA: that's 145 mph


On a plane?

This. You figured it out a lot quicker than me!

His flight happened to be flying pretty much directly over that road I guess...

Was it a prop plane? I'd have guessed a jet would have greater speeds than that.

Pretty sure a jet, but it was right after takoff. Judging by the location this wouldn't have been more than a half mile past the end of the runway.

I know that a few Anchorage/Lake Hood approaches are named after the roads they fly over. The Tudor Overpass approach literally calls for "make a left on Tudor corner Muldoon and continue on Tudor to the field".

Interesting, makes it easy for visual approaches.
