It ' s $ 1 . 5 million in damages . Damages is the word for the actual monetary award , not the thing that they did . <| sep |> I miss the Rocky Mountain News so much they were such a better paper . If only they ' d won the news war ! <| sep |> Great advice , the only thing is I ' ve never found diving to work in 1 . 2 , the reason is that drag is more brutal at transsupersonic speeds in 1 . 2 , so altough you can break the sound barrier while diving , as you then try to pull up the increased drag bleeds off the velocity you built up because you ' re no longer travelling almost exactly prograde . I ' m not saying it ' s absolutely impossible to utilize a dive , but the craft would have to be damn close to being able to break the sound barrier in level flight . Basically a plane just has to be powerful , lightweight and streamlined enough to break the sound barrier in level flight , and there is no real tricks .
