Default In wave, in blue hole at cloud level, hole closes, in IMC, then what?

I wanted to mention that, unlike the other V speeds, Vne is *true* airspeed, not indicated, and the corresponding indicated airspeed goes down as altitude increases. The red-line on the ASI is Vne for sea-level. A high-altitude flier might memorize or have handy the values for Vne at 10 and 15 thousand, and FL200, and FL250.
