I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

LJR, sustained was the question.

For instance, in theory, the Vulcan could cruise at or above 56,000 feet albeit with a bank angle limit of 15 deg and a Mig 21 could intercept a Vulcan at that altitude but could not sustain level flight.
