Airspeed of military planes

Airspeed limitation below 10000ft is usually 250kts unless you have been
authorized by the Administrator. However I guess it's a bit slow for
military fighters. So I am curious how fast military fighters fly in the
real world. I guess it's very dangerous military aircraft fly much fast
among civilian planes.

Many of them fly 250 knots below 10,000'. Some are authorized to fly as fast as
300.

A heavy 747 climbs out at 282 knots...

T-38 was 300 knots.

A BUFF at 280 KIAS. However we have no waiver for descent/landing/touch-and-go,
so we are obligated to comply with the 250 below 10.

Not if the minimum safe airspeed for descent/landing/touch-and-go is greater
than 250.

Which in a BUFF means you probably shouldn't be attempting a landing. Better to
bail out in such circumstances. Bottom line, a BUFF will *always* be able to
comply with 250 below 10 on recovery.

So what point were you trying to make?

Hi Buff;

The T38 had a restricted and unrestricted climb schedule for both MIL and
MAX performance climb if I remember right. We couldn't use the MAX climb
schedule outside of the corridors, but a MIL climb at 300kts to 10 grand
followed by an unrestricted IMN climb after that was quite common.

Its been nearly 10 years, but that's how I remember it as well. I also thought
300 was the standard IAS to cruise to and from the work areas, low levels etc.

Yup! The standard rule if I remember right was 300 kts and stay the hell
away from icing conditions!!! God, that airplane hated ice!!!!! :-))

Thank you! It straightened things out. I was wondering this in a flight
sim.
