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. Walt BJ I also had a long phone conversation with an old squadron mate.

Definitely had the power to do it, at least in the F model, and probably the D and E too, if they were clean, no racks.. Ron Tanker 65, C-54E (DC-4)
