    Shouldn't a slide have popped out of that?

    All the best,

    If she goes a thousand mph, a lot more than tape will be coming off.

    I believe that is heavy aluminum foil tape, often referred to as 'speed tape'.

    The F-22A is the only US fighter that can easily reach 60,000' and the only one with a partial pressure suit that allows routine flight above 50,000'. Without that, AF regs limit flight to below 50,000', at which point blood boils if cabin pressure is lost.

    Terry, thanks for your always informative and valuable information. I wondered about the extreme altitude at which this incident took place.

    was there any mention of the missile used? dummy warhead I would think, no explosive necessary. a very expensive dart. :D

    Missile used was an AIM-9X and she did have a warhead. They did not want the balloon or parts to drift outside the 12 mile limit, especially with prevailing winds from the west.

    I think they wanted the 'payload' as intact as possible, not blown to pieces. ;)

    Not a very big warhead in an AIM-9 and that is likely why they used it instead of an AIM-120.
