Damn we can only do a 30 degree bank at this weight and live; let's go
back to that chart and not embarrass ourselves in front of CNN:
FL450, 500,000lbs max (damn,) 1.15G, 30 degrees bank equals 229kts
low speed stall, and 238kts high speed mach stall. That's only a
nine knot range! I can't do that! I can only hold a tolerance of
about plus or minus one inch on the gauge! You crazy "Jet-eyes" are
trying to get me killed! I quit!

pacplyer – over and out!

Thanks for the info, Pacman.

And for the correction - Pressure altitude - not density.

Aw heck, the U-2 guys did it tighter than that for hours on end.
Stall at 90 knots (indicated?) and mach buffet sets in at 95 knots???

(Reality really sucks, don't it.)
