It is a cool story though, kinda hope it's true but it does sound a bit too epic to be true.

It's still believable, when the 71 started flying it's possible "speed classified" hadn't been introduced yet.

To me the only thing that the doubter's story that hasn't been refuted well is the number being too specific.
