Helicopter speeds at most. He would be unable to stand up in it going very fast though, so it's probably more like 60-80mph tops.

At least 200mph. I can't say he could sustain those speeds, but as fast as the fastest motorcycle.

This dialogue makes me wonder: was Destro's Iron Grenadier costume meant to be a pilot's containment or pressure suit? I never saw his Despoiler as a means of conveyance over distance or a vehicle with speed in mind but rather as a platform for elevation and viewing the battlefield. It sounds like we're all in agreement that the top speed of the Despoiler is almost certainly far higher than the pilot's ability to survive it.

250 knots is a little more than the top speed of an Apache.
If a FANG pilot doesn't need protection or a flight suit and it has a top speed of 197mph with one engine then I think that is a fairly reasonable estimate of speed in the Hasbroverse. Maybe 200 knots. The Havoc hovercraft has a 110 HP engine. That might equal to about 120 mph (or more since it is not a car and there is no resistance) with no protection. So that would be the minimum speed I think for sure.

Can you imagine the mess when he flies through a bunch of bugs.

Which one would win in a race? The Despoiler, the Air Chariot, or the Havoc Recon Craft?

Despoiler.
Air Chariot is just for show. HAVOC Recon was probably build by the lowest bidder. Destro doesn't mess around.
