Thanks for that link above.... I had never read the story of Bill Weaver and that is incredible. What are the odds of surviving such a thing?

Airframe was the limitation, not the engine.....
Kinda crazy when you think about it. We know that it could do at least Mach 3.18.......

I had a nice flight with a KC-135Q pilot one morning who just happened to be sitting next to me. We played 20 questions and I got some interesting answers.
