In my formative days as a holding officer on 6 Sqn, you took me flying in a 2 seater and I remember we went easily to 0.99M. As I recall the only reason we didn’t go supersonic was because the external tanks weren’t rated! Still the fastest I’ve flown!
To all doubters and nay sayers, this was in level flight!
