Well, this looks like a lot of fun. Has anyone on here done it?

Is it "if you gotta ask, you can't afford it" kinda thing?

I thought the service ceiling of the -29 was ~60k. Either way, that's high and just hope your life support system isn't old Russian stock.

I've been to Mach 1.4 or so...feels like cruise at altitude...just a number on a gauge.

I'd pay to go low and fast, ask for that profile...you will never forget ridge crossings at 500' and 500 knots!

Well, I asked. I have an email in to them. I will let you know!

No kidding on the old Russian stock!

Agreed to all the rest. I got over 2.0 once but it's just a number. Low and fast is the better ride!

After 6 years at Cannon, AFB I got a ride in an F-111D. We were at 18k when the Col. asked how I liked it . I stated it was boring. He said hold! We went into TFR mode and shot through the Caprock canyons. What a blast. I will never forget it.

55k' and 1.55 is my record in the Super Hornet. As everyone else has said... It's just a number in the HUD. I have more fun cloud surfing than going supersonic.

I understand the appeal, but no way would I pay money to get in a Russian POS above 25k'.

+1 1.2 Mach just a number up high.

300' at 330KCAS is pretty fun, but then again we have four engines not one.

Speaking of cloud surfing...
Do an Immelman to just below a solid, smooth overcast and stay inverted, flying just under the overcast (undercast?) as if it were the ground. That will tumble your gyros.

Seen 2.0 on a test hop on a clean F-4C. The inlet ramps have cycled in and the plane seems taut, but it's still just a number.

Or, briefing a 4v4 guns-only hop, offer the Eagle jets their choice of block altitudes. They naturally choose 5-9's, figuring on having the top block, with all the radars searching low. We engage from FL540.

Apologies in advance for the reminiscing.

Bill... The F-111D , is that an Ardvark or Raven ? Have always liked the F-111. I was sitting in my locomotive (ATSF R.R.)on the Canyon Diablo bridge in Az. when an F-111 came over me with wings swept back and hauling the mail. It was so cool ! Been buzzed by an F-4 out of George AFB down low over the Hector Vortac ... heavy smokers !

Back when I was still on active duty I had to go to the Dugway Proving Grounds, one valley west of SLC and conduct dispersal patterns for smoke and other liquids . . .

Mission called for .85M at 75 feet AGL. It was a fairly hot summer day so if I remember correctly it was about 575KTAS, and at 75 feet 650 MPH seemed pretty fast crossing over the semi-desert floor.

Probably not enough money in the world to get me in the back seat of old Soviet Mig and climb to 70,000'. Who maintains it and how good is the ejection seat . . . ?

Mach 2 while sipping Krug Champagne. The only way I like going supersonic.

Collings Foundation has an F4D that you can fly for $12,500. I chose the P51C as it was really cheap (well.... cheaper). An hour and 10 minutes and a lot of aerobatics later it was at the top of my bucket list items.

+1. AND you get to sling snake eaters out the back! Flying low is pure fun.
