When questioned by Katherine Hepburn as to how fast he had flown, Bo Hope states 500 MPH. The F-86D Sabre that he was flying on the intercept had a maximum speed of 715 mph (1,151 km/h, 621 kn) or Mach .93. A fighter pilot would have put his machine through its paces to see what it was capable of before trusting his life to it. Flying 200 MPH slower than maximum would have been normal for cruising but to assume he would never have pushed it to the maximum or near-max is absurd.
