I am considering bringing the Halifax, that can do 240kts, I think?

No idea - you'd need to test it.

According to the Wikipedia specs of the real one, top speed of 245kts and a max altitude of 24,000ft. I’ll try it out but I’m sure it’ll be fine for 240kts.

245kts Ground speed, not air speed...........................
Bugger, I think when I was flying it on Sunday, I got to 240kts so I’ll test it out Saturday morning.

I'm thinking I'm bringing the Mossie as it looks so sweet flying past Rainier.

KMFA is not on my Fg airport list?
That’s because it doesn’t seem to be an ICAO code. A quick search shows no airports of that code.
