Fastest 240z Driver in the World!

Fastest Men in the Air: Al Joersz and George Morgan

"I think we could have comfortably flown to Mach 3.4," says Al Joersz. "Beyond that it's pretty risky." That kind of modesty - and a really fast jet - is the stuff of records. On a July day in 1976, Joersz and George Morgan flew the SR-71 Blackbird 2,193.16 mph, which no one has touched since. These days, Joersz, a deputy director at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, checks out the latest experimental planes - and tears up the California desert on four-wheelers with his kids. What does his DMV record look like? "I got a couple of tickets in my 240Z," he says. "But I wasn't really going all that fast."
