I read somewhere that a standard rate turn through 180 degrees at Mach 3 in the SR71 took the craft all the way from the border with Canada to the border with Mexico
Standard rate = 180 degrees in 1 minute. Somehow I doubt that he could get from Canada to Mexico in 1 minute, even in a straight line.
