Tarver, you are brown-eyed. If you really were in the 194th you'll know
exactly what that means.

WaltBJ is full of ****.

What I wrote is true. The trip home was often a lesson in energy management
for the wingman.

ISTR Atlantic City-based 106s doing a lot of flying over the ocean, where
going to Mach 1+ was a normal occurence. Not sure if they passed 2 very
often, but it is possible. A lot of their flying was escorting Tu-95s and
other planes up the coast, which they often did in relays with other
National Guard squadrons.

down from 55,000 feet can make a lot of speed.


Christ John!...it's Bering Strait...you sound so careless, aren't
you concerned with what people think of you?


I am a lazy engineer that does not care about spelling. That much effort is
someting I associate with work, not recreation.


Well, hopefully accuracy is something else that you associate
only with work as well, because it hasn't ever seemed that you
associate it with recreation.

There is no problem with my accuracy.

Santa Barbara to the Bering Straits - how many refuelings? And no
relief tube in the bird! Ouch!

Goodness gracious. Tarver, did it ever occur to you that I have
relatives in California and visit them often? I just may drop in some
time and see exactly what you look like. Now, be nice, or I'll
complain to your Mommie.

Walt, do us all a favour and slap his mother for giving birth to him.

If he were my child I'd have drowned him before his eyes opened and sold the
milk.

Come on by Walt, you will be welcome.

BTW Lockheed stated that on the F104A/J793b combination thrust crossed
drag at 2.36 at the standard tropopause - temp minus 57F.
Bye the bye the Mach limit for aluminum bodied aircraft is 2.4 max,
2.2 for 5 minutes. I got my info on the speedy 106 from a USAF film on
the record trials.

Your initial post of 2.33 is from USAF speed trials, but your 2.7 claim
looks to have come from a bull**** session on a barstool. The airplane is
aerodynamicly limited to about 2.3.

Then Walt would have to die.

How about you come show me how it is, Dan.

Send me the air fare. Round trip and first class, of course. I will also need
hotel and a car. If you would be so kind as to supply me with an oxygen
concentrator I would be thankful. The one I am hooked up to now weighs too much
to carry.

On second thought, I'd rather go by train. Make it a sleeper car. I will still
need the other things too.

I accept paypal.
