Default 100 mph ?

C-5 Folks, a comment made in OT made me curious....
Have you ever driven your C-5 over a 100 mph on a public road

Nope. Really! Always afraid there will be a LEO up the road waiting to arrest my ***. Also, my part of NJ is really crowded. Always semms to be too many other cars around.

I have at the drag strip. my mph was 107. It was at a real dragstrip, not street racing. Because exceeding the posted speed is illegal!

Oh yeah, IB4TL!
