No, but it looks like that one had a pretty good headwind to help it out.

Really big difference in cruising speeds between the two as well, obviously. That one is totally a bush plane with those huge ass all terrain tires/landing gear.

Yeah, I know. But this was a great thread to add the vid.

That was a turbo prop?

Yes, the venerable Pratt & Whitney PT6.
