Estimate the Speed

[apache43]

Hey guys, check out this link. Lotta fun to watch. I was curious though about what you think the speeds might be on these birds. There are a few shots where the number two looks like hes got a fairly high AoA. I'm guessing about 300 kts as a max when they're at their lowest. Anyone else come up with something different?

Fast enough at those heights! Rekon 400+kt for the ultra low level, but they haven't annotated their maps properly with the leg speeds. How very unprofessional.

450kts@40' and he's making switch selections with his left hand. Guess he's keeping both eyes on the road with a hand on the wheel!

Poof! Doesn't he know RAWK music should always be played at 11?

He might fly low but he has bad taste in music.

When one's wingman flies lower than one and brings back the video to prove it, how hard should one kick ass?

Agreed, 450 kts (when the ASI is not in shadow). Seems to be turning down the Rad Alt low height bug, which would be annoying!

Disagree that the No2 is at a high AOA, I believe it is just due to canopy distortion making the fuselage look thicker than it really is.
