In early 1970 I hitched a ride to the kibbutz I was working on in Israel, and the driver was a pilot from the neighboring airbase where newly delivered Phantoms were based.
During our brief conversation, I asked him what the top speed of the Phantom was. His reply was a very terse "Don't ask."
Oh, well, I got the answer from that week's issue of Time Magazine. You can go overboard with security precautions sometimes.
