I agree. I was only mentioning the altitude because not everyone knows that the speed of sound is slower at higher altitudes and the fact that the air is much denser down low making it hard to go fast here. Hence the max speed records are different at sea level and 40k feet.

The B1B at full afterburner at transonic speeds will certainly make you think your bowels have come loose.
