the XB-70 could fly at mach 3 but it never saw war time

I was in the CIA for awhile where I flew F16s. Unfortunatley I was stung by a scorpion and had to take a leave of absence. I have now recovered from that.... and a brain tumor, and I'm now piloting the F22. I can say with 100% accuracy that the F22 can go mach4.

Sincerly yours,

You know what?
Cut the guy some slack.

It's pretty rare to go on the internet and run into people who have at least a smidgeon about something you are interested in.

Instead of brow beating and treating the individual like an outsider, why not welcome him into the fold?

We ALL started out new.

For Choocha: You are in a quagmire of 100's of years experience here really.

You need ti listen and / or educate. This is probably the most hard core aviation site you are ever going to see.

And. welcome to the fold!

Cheers,
RTR

There's no way the F-22 can go mach 3, and 100,000 ft is likewise unrealistic except possibly as part of a test program such as the ultra-high altitude F-104 tests.

The antennas on an F-15E start melting off at around mach 2... I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to tell my commander why I melted the anti-radar coating off of an F-22.

I'm not an armchair fighter pilot... I'm the real thing.
