Yeah, that's a great shot.  Not mine btw.  Someone took it at the San Francisco airshow and this is one of the opposing solos doing the nice little sneak up move from behind the crowd.  The plane's not supersonic just to be clear. He's actually transsonic but he'll still arrive with a big surprise.

The fastest I ever drank a can of beer was 122mph in the fast lane of the M5. I was in the passenger seat of course.  :rock

~600 knots, also in a F-16D (passenger) but at 200 feet. Those telephone polls looked like a picket fence  :D
135 mph in a turbo MR 2 (driver) going north on I-15 just north of Ogden, UT.

550 (Airspeed) at due east heading+ rotation of the earth (around 1000 mph) + speed of earth in orbit around sun (67,000 mph)

Fastest I've ever been was therefore...

 68,550 mph
