Greg . . .As VTAIL said, there's not much turbulence at 60,000'.  There's
even less at 70, and at 85 (SR), it's really nice.  Altitude changes
(descent) are done VERY carefully and VERY slowly, with speed brakes out and,
in some cases, gear down. It takes a long time to get down, even if you've
flames out.  Bank angles of up to 30 degrees can be safely made at altitude
but require absolute control of airspeed.  Yes, there have been aircraft
losses when limits were exceeded at altitude.  Your first indication that
you've screwed it up big time is when the tail departs.  Pat
