We would be remiss in this discussion not to bring up the venerable Tu-95 (Bear), which has been reaching its top speed of 575 mph (925 km/hr) regularly since somewhat before I was born. Depending on what numbers really apply to the Thunderscreech, it may not have ever been the fastest propeller-driven plane (in level flight, etc.).
