There is no problem with my accuracy.

JT, the question we seem to be having revolves around your words "normal
operating speed".

My comment as to mach 2.3 being normal operating speed goes to the
assertion
that the airplane would have a problem with going that fast. Taking an
F-106 to mach 2.3 does not damage the airplane.

No one doubts the F-106 at 2+Mach top speed. Exact cites vary slightly.

But that speed as "normal"? YGBSM

Normal, as in probably every F-106 saw that speed somethime in it's
lifetime.

That's an interesting definition of the word "normal".

The "normal" operating speed of my old minivan is 105, since it did that
once in it's lifetime.
