Re: Gliding Heavies

I know it's not a 'heavy' but I did a practice 'one in one' in a Hunter once. Clean, it did about 500ft/nm at 250kt, and to achieve the required 1000ft/nm r of d, it was 'dirty'. Starting from about 14000ft near Greenham Common, we easily made it into Boscombe Down - great fun!!
