Terminal velocity of bombs?

Beside the supersonic freefall that Joe did, he also got a MiG in SEA
and spent some time as a guest of the North Vietnamese.

That POW part had a great deal to do with duplicating the MiG kill
part...Fangs out, Hair on Fire...

The reports of his free-fall records...scary. Mas Cajones.

Dare I say it was a "Triple-Nickel" thing. Lots of competition.

Something strange about what a MiG airborne will do to your common
sense. I always said I was happy killing SAM sites, never had no
argument with no MiG. Live and let live was my philosophy. Then one
day a pair of -21s came blowing through between my element and the
Weasels. Didn't take but a second. I called blow the tanks and stroked
the burners. Larry Cary, on my wing, called "six is clear" and we had
our coifures fully engulfed in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, Madden and Ritchie interposed themselves between us and
the designated morts for the day. Back to rooting around in the dirt.
