second. The fastest I flew it was Mach 1.35 at 35,000 feet. I
remember flying in fingertip formation once on a friend's "fini" flight.
We were supposed to keep the bank angle to a max of 90 degrees in
fingertip but he did a barrel roll. I found it surprisingly easy to
stay in position throughout the entire barrel roll.
What a sweet machine that was....
