I like their description of the Starfighter:That makes sense then why the Concorde could only fly Mach .95 over land IIRC.
Here is that ( cool ) true story about the broken windows in Ottawa on August 5, 1959.
Broke windows in the new airport which delayed its opening.
Aircraft was an F104 and it reached 660 Knots ( before we went metric….says 760 MPH ) if I read the small print correctly.
Canada later bought the F104 and built it under licence.
