Ah! Happy days.....chatting to the DAO at TTTE one evening. Known locally as "Yoda", probably due to his ugliness, this Tornado instructor, (G.R. for those who remember him), when asked, stated he'd easily gone balistic in a Lightning and topped out at "around 90K" before tumbling back down into thicker air.....good memories of him crewing out of an Italian GR1 at Cot, and assualting the student pilot on the way back to the line hut! Special rug reserved for him in front of OC TOCU's desk from what I was told!
