There was and is no Navy pattern requiring such ludicrous dirty flight regimes. Yes I've been 600 kts into a 7.5 G break. This (in a Hornet) would barely arrive at any kind of interesting AOA. Perhaps 35 degrees if I kept reafing on the pole down past 200 kts. Never the less, the remainder of the pattern was 25-28 deg AOB at onspeed AOA of 8.1 deg. The Sewer Pipe you speak of can hardly be compared to anything using the term "Hi Performance" including our relatively low performing Lancairs. Of course it needed mil power in the pattern. It was a drag device with half of a non-afterburning engine strapped to it. That airplane couldn't fight it's way out of a paper bag. Stick a fork in it! Respectfully, Larry Henney 360LH PS: No disrespect intended to any of you Military folks holding that Harley, Single Seats Forever mindset. I'm sure it was a swell airplane in it's day.
