This is a little low flying in a strike eagle over the salt flats then (I assume) a supersonic climbout.

If he had gone through tech inspection and stayed on the long course, they both could be wearing '300 Mile Per Hour Club' baseball caps!

He tried doing that in the MC-12 last week, but the Taliban just laughed at him and his "high speed" pass.

Ah yes,... good times ! Did that on IR207 and the T-38. Takes some getting used to, seeing a mountain in front thats 500' higher, pulling up to clear it, rolling inverted as you clear it only to pull on the stick to descend on the back side back to 100agl. Timing is everything !
