    800 mph is for the rookies!

    I got to work at the highspeed test track at Holloman AFB one summer. We were sending things down the track at much higher speeds.

    Did they use you for a test dummy? MACH 8.5 on a ten mile track would give you one heck of a headache............very quickly!
