On a light note... Anyone done 1000mph?

I once did a tail slide in a Hawk. Does that count as flying backwards?
I've done a stall turn as well.
I can't say I really planned to do either.
Never been 1000mph. Can't actually remember my fastest IAS in a Jag. Somewhere in the low 600s maybe? But I do know that in Oman when the F3s had their weeny tanks on they were limited to 0.9M and our tactic was to outrun them (0.95M limit for us!).
You have to take what you can get sometimes.
