I want to fly one some more! Come on, Powerball ticket! Just making sure, but you really didn't mistype FL730? (oh MAMA!) Indeed not. We returned to Homestead AFB from Tyndall AFB at FL730 after running some tests against a U2 - both uf us had full pressure suits and they were quite comfortable. The Dash 19 engined 104As cruised at about 3/4 AB at 315IAS and M2.0 (Eyeball approach to best L/D). I regret we didn't assess maneuverabiity up there but certainly there was more power avalable.
