Hey Scott, that's a fun game too. When that thread came out I made a couple of 10,000 foot AGL runs in right around 5 minutes. The SkyView system did not have data logging then so I did not post. I will have to make another run when the weather cooperates now that I can capture the details for examination.

This sprint to 1,500 uses less fuel and is easy to coordinate

Had a couple of buddies do a roll on T.O. after refueling their RV-4 at La Cholla Airpark, Tucson in 1989. They didn't make it.
