Way out of the envelope, but he can honestly say he's gone supersonic with both hands (and legs) behind his back.

ACES II posted limit in the Eagle was 600EAS, but a lot of attempts at the upper part of that range have been fatal due to flails. I think the Russian monster K-36 is good a bit faster.
