140mph repeatedly on the front straight way at Thunderhill in my SPF; basically hitting the rev limiter in 4th gear just prior to the brake zone before turn 1. "Repeatedly" means that I've done about two dozen (or more) 20 minute sessions at T-Hill, so this was clearly not a one time experience  |

Yeah, but you have no sense of speed at 30,000+ feet. Now, if you tell me you were doing that NOE, then let's talk because that would be a wild ride.

About 135 in a 1985 Mitsubishi Starion down a new straight, flat highway in Duncanville. That was a fun car. I guessing about 135 based on the tachometer. That was back when the digital speedo maxed out at 85 due to regulation!!!

OXY,
Yes, USN. Well, it wasn't really a fighter "ride" per se, I flew Hornets for 24strait years-it was my daily driver-over 4600 hrs, 3 combat deployments and 423 carrier landings worth.
Great tool for killing people and breaking a lot of ****....great gig....
Now heading to Afghanistan all year to kill them with some other new and interesting "tools"....

Well I posted elsewhere about the technology hidden from the world. Tech that is used to "drill" these enormous underground facilities. Not drills at all just equipment that melts the rock clean.
There is so much talk about area 51, the good stuff is suppose to be housed in the nearby papoose mountains. All the U2/A12/Blackbirds were flown here. Many of the UFO sightings are because of these flights. However I have heard some tall tales from very experieced fighter pilots over the last 25 years.
I left the USN in 1988 and the tech then was light years from what you think.
I can tell you this the latest generation of of experimental craft is flown at night and are not located in any type of hangar you can visualize. These are flown out of huge underground facilities and the runways open up like a zipper and close like one. Hidden from satelites completely and camouflaged to blend. That's about all I can say.

For those that like the water (and I agree, it feels twice as fast), here is pretty fast.

You guys, that's some pretty cool sh*t, makes our "civilian" experiences look pretty lame. Great stories, we're envious!

1.2 Mach in the backseat of a F-16.
Fastest I ever went in my Cobra was about 125. I think we hit 130 when I got a ride in CSX 3035. Although that car is scary fast, I don't comprehend how Dick Smith did 198mph.

Not me, but my boss (Ron Grabe) has spent a bunch of time above 17000 mph. He was pilot on two shuttle flights and commander on two others. The shuttle is really fast!

144mph on VIR back straight in my FF5 cobra. GPS verified and on camera from my buddy behind in his 355 F1 Ferrari. With 351w up front it did not get light, but my mortality did flash through my Brain..... After about 6 laps it stopped flashing ...
And 255 kph in my M3 BMW on autobahn, also GPS ( =159 MPH)
