Unhappy Not the Aussie ones!

A little bird told me that the Pig can only supercruise in a shallow dive, and yes - it does require A/B to intially get it 'over the hump'.

Sorry to blow up that urban legend.

Then again, the Oz Pigs only had the P109, with a measly 12,000lbs per side dry. The F-models may (should?) have been able to make a much better go of it.

Any USAF or RAAF exchange types care to enlighten us?
