    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

I believe the Russians built an interceptor that was capable of higher speeds than the Blackbird, but only in a sprint, and then it had to be retired due to airframe stress.
 
Is this a trick question? If it were about automobiles the fastest car you will ever drive would be a rental car, because you will do things in it you would never do in your own car.

The Mig 25 Foxbat could do Mach 3+ in a short haul but not sure if it's the fastest crewed jet.
 
It was not faster than the SR or the A-12. The LM tweet above is not referencing any of those jets though. It's a wink/nod to an undisclosed platform.
