Cool Now, supersonic run & breaks, is that apochryphal as well?

A certain F4K managed quite nicely to wake all us on Ark with a supersonic run at <100ft, one sleepy afternoon. After much sweating and discussion with lots of senior officers, the pilot was (eventually) exonerated when the Machmeter was tested and found U/S.

Quite what speed he thought he was doing was carefully avoided
