"Ground Spd: 135 kts (Assigned: 0454) - note that 135 knots is below stall speed! Altitude: 009(hundreds of feet) (Assigned: 280) - Only 900 feet up? Maybe this is on final... Type: B733 (Boeing Company Model 737-300) Origin Apt: MDW CHICAGO MIDWAY INTL Dest Apt: PHX PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTL Departed: 2120Z ETA As Filed: 0030Z, Calculated ETE: 9h 16m - NINE HOURS for a flight to Phoenix? I --- DON'T ---- THINK -----So 135K with flaps on takeoff climbing out of 900 ft MSL for Flight Level 280 (28,000ft) is well above stall speed on a 737. Departed 2120Z (320PM CST) ETA 0030Z (630PM CST)= 3HR 10MIN block to block. Time out=left gate; OFF is wheels off the ground.

And for those curious souls:
1 knot is equal to 1.15077945 MPH so at 135 knots the plane was flying at 155.355226 MPH.
