I also had a long phone conversation with an old squadron mate. He
mentioned he used to FCF F111s - and had one out to 2.7 in a shallow
dive from 50 grand. And I believe him - know him well. Don't bother
telling me it's past the red line; that's just a mark on a gauge.

I read a diary of a flight (Airpower ?) that said the F-111
had a timer that assisted with avoiding over-temperature on the
canopy, did older aircraft like the F-106 have anything similar, or
was it all seat-of-the-pants ?
