You are comparing one performance parameter on two entirely different types of
aircraft. It doesn't matter what the SR's speed is at 40,000' -- it doesn't fly there. How good of imagery coverage can the MiG 25 provide, from 90,000'? Apples and oranges. A better question would be, how many times did a MiG 25 manage to catch the SR? v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Its always better to lose -an- engine, not -the- engine.
