The blurb I heard on BZ today said these jets can fly at twice the speed of sound? That' like 1500 mph or 25 miles per second.

I can't imagine going from the tarmac at Otis to NCY in something like 8 minutes as they did on 9/11. I have a buddy who's a jet mechanic at Otis and was there that day for the scramble. He said in a blink they were gone and out of ear shot.
