IIRC, the Eagles were flying with 3 tanks (retained) and (obviously) a

The tanks were punched, and 650 KCAS or so was apparently enough to get them in
the envelope. Although ISTR being told that the F-15 has never gotten within a
mile of its 800KCAS limit in level flight. 730KCAS or so on the deck is
floating around in my memory, but don't put a lot of weight on that in this
case.
