Maybe one of the Phatom drivers can chime in....several years ago, I did a favor for someone. He offered to take me on a ride to break the sound barrier....below sea level. I thought that would be pretty cool, but a Huey wreck sort of postponed things for me.

Any of you Phantom drivers ever hear of something like that?

Taking Doc to watch the submarine races because he used three fingers instead of two during this years flight physical...classic...

I wonder what he charges for up chits....:yuck_125:

That is a fast submarine.

I actually got a chance to check out the Phantom that was used for the low altitude, (Below sea level), high speed run. They took it out to Death Valley and went full burner to see what happened. Poor bird looked like a blow torch had been taken to every leading edge. It was unflyable after that.
