Re: top speed 200 1986

Mmm, rolled out the back of a C130 and falling in a nose-down attitude I'm guessing 135-140mph. I rode down in the back of an old Honda Civic a few years ago that we rolled out at 18,000'. With all fluids out and with the engine and tranny still in it and 5 of us in it, we guessed terminal at around 130-132. The car started rolling end over end at around 10,000' and the last guy bailed out at 5,000'. The car rolled back to a nose-down attitude which it held until impact.

The things bored skydivers do on Sunday afternoons above the Arizona desert.
