    Note all, speeds here are SP sim numbers. I get 2,000 mph level at 200,000 feet on my Andrid tablet, and only 2,300 mph at 130,000 feet on my iPad. Device SW affects a lot of our plane testing. So, I appreciate feedback.

    Thanks for rating @TheLatentImage This is from a real squadron in California that mods/tests the F-14D. This color is called "Playboy Bunny" and yes, they really fly it.
