The guys out of Pax that we used for targets in some of my T&E programs could only seem to manage M 0.9 or so on the deck. If I needed M 1+ down low, I had to get an F-14 or a Saab Drakken (Flight International had a couple). I even had some Air National Guard guys promise me M 1+ in their F-15s, but they only made it to 0.95 under 5 kft. Breathin hard downhill, at that. Sumpt'n bout drop tanks...

Watch enough ready room movies they tend to all blur together. The “owes me money ” comment is from a movie too….I can’t remember which one right now-but I do know it was a ready room favorite.

Tomcats could melt paint with tanks AND Phoenix pallets. But hey, thats progress. Right? Not to dampen the fun here, but is the ONLY way a Super can bust the number is to remove all the pylons?
