Normal speed for that altitude would be at least 300 KIAS. JEDI is a callsign for T-6 trainers from Pensacola. There could be someone else using that callsign as well but that speed would be about right for a T-6.

211kts really isn’t “zipping by”. It’s a brisk walk, at best.
If it’s the jersey shore, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone out of McGuire (perhaps a tanker) also using the Jedi callsign.

You ship the clothes back.

I would ship the backseat occupant back. I'd try real hard to go without the back seat occupant to begin with!
