"I Feel The Need . . . The Need For Speed!"

Ah, the great line from the movie Top Gun. Do you have a stamp that just screams "speed"? Here is one to get started from San Marino.

Scott #3173 Anniversary of Supersonic Flight.

Is this a sexy aircraft or what?

As a new issue, it would be one of the best
of Concorde going around.

Strap yourself in...and hang on for dear life.

Related to Rodney's image, more Land Speed Record cars. This is a 1998 British set.

My Dad is involved in an LSR attempt as the driver, trying to run over 500 mph with a piston-engined, wheel-driven car. They've been building it for over 10 years - better hurry up before everybody gets too old to run the thing!

Wow! Ryan.
absolutely gobsmacked.
words fail.......

You never know, they might end up in Australia to run that thing. The Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah is the normal location for this sort of stuff, but the course there is only long enough for runs up to perhaps 450 mph. After that, they'll need to find some place longer. There's a dry lake in Nevada and another in Australia that are good locations. The location in Australia is a bit problematic logistically, however - a couple of hundred miles from the nearest source of drinking water, for example ....
