As relatively 'low' zoomer', I cannot recall the IAS, but it was low, and as I have posted previously I had almost no pitch response. As the crew-room chat had briefed me in the past, I eased the burners back to min and then to max cold (they kept running), tried to keep the 'normal' cruise pitch attitude and made sure I had no sideslip with appropriate rudder. No tumble, no spin, no flame-out, no press'n problems, just a 'float' over the top until passing back into the land of the living.

I was, of course, at the time, busy updating my Reynolds number and re-computing Prandtl-Glauert the whole time (using my trusty slide-rule) and this kept me safe.
