What are your criteria?

Aircraft, area, time, wind, etc?

Im afraid I failed - shamefully....... :(


My first plan was to take the Mirage up, then down!
Image

Image

The run didn't go to well when I pulled up too fast!
Image

My next plan was not a great Idea but even so getting off the ground would have been a start!
Image


Off we go!
Image

Sending it into a Vibration.

I hang my head in shame!

So can I get my Millenium Falcon out of mothballs and cruise her around?  Or how about the Supercar?  I KNOW I can get 'er faster than 2400 kias.

even more than mach 4,if you've got less than 10% of fuel left. and you gotta switch "overstressing" off...

Ahhh, alright now, gotta put some kinda rules on this.
First, no crashin, cant tell the tale if ya didnt survive. ::)

Also, cant survive if ya over-stress...........same difference.

Hmmm, and one other thing.........at only 244ft that indicated airspeed is actually slower than it looks as yer doin much less than mach 2 even, cuz at FL600 I can get her up to mach4, which coverted is about 3,000mph!! Hmmhpf! :-/

Savy? ;D
