Yep.

Over 500 mph (and over the red line of bird). We still used mph in
those days G

Would start above 5000' and dive down to about 500 feet over aux field
to start maneuver.

Would do this with some of my element and word would go around my
flight (25-30 students) about my capabilities so that when I briefed
the flight each day they listened to what I had to say. G

Never spun out of one and never had a student try (to the best of my
knowledge???) No one ever told me after graduation when they would
have had a 'free pass'.

Y'all fly safe not like some of us idiots did G

What was your entry speed? Above 370 kts? Musta been a long dive, if so.
