Since it’s a ratio, it doesn’t matter if you measure speed in knots, miles per hour, or meters per second. At sea level on a standard day (15 °C or 59 °F), sound travels about 661 knots (approximately 761 mph or 1,225 km/h). When you reach around 36,000 feet (11,000 m) near the tropopause, the temperature stabilizes at around -56.5 °C.

The tail section, minus horizontal stabilizer, came from a crashed TF-104G that was found in an Ontario, California junkyard. The horizontal stabilizer came from a wrecked F-104G. Well, I was indicating 210 knots when I ejected and on my way out I was counting the rivets on the canopy bow.
