Fastest fighter at sea level.........NOT!
Rocket,I can remember being challenged to a race by the 5(AC) SQN Fag Charioteers at Cope Thunder 97.
It never eventuated because they wanted to limit it to 10 miles. The chariot may be quick off the blocks but she's got nothing compared to the -111 over any decent distance.
When you have to decellerate at the IP to meet your M1.2 max employment speed, then you are in a fast fighter at sea level!

It's not us
Rob from Brissy.
It is not us you are hearing. BTW we do not fly lights off in civvy airspace nor do we cross that airspace not talking to ATC.
It is probably DHL or someone like that. We, like you, are tucked up in bed by that time of the morning!

Not my personal opinion AA, merely a statement of fact 
So lets sum up.
You were challenged to a race
You only wanted to play if the conditions suited you
You ducked out of the race
You take this to mean you won.
Dear me!!!
Ps: Was this race to be at Aussie low level, or British low level?

As for M'sieu Rocket:
I have never assumed victory, although the Fox 2 kill my driver & I took on one that same Det could be taken as proof that they couldn't out-run us!
It was clear from the example set by the 47 SQN Alberts that there were differing definitions of Low Level.
BTW - Nice use of Icons!

Look for some shots of a clean fit Tonka (probably an F3), flying at medium alt, fully swept with reheat selected & you may well be looking at a supersonic Tornado.

That said, I accept that the F3 mates have a great deal more knowledge about supersonic flight than us mud movers... Running away bravely requires great speed!
