I have a friend who is a retired NASA/Air Force U2 pilot, flying about
everything NASA has in its arsenal.
He has thousands of hours flying formation in F4s and other airplanes. 
He has shown an interest in being an instructor at PRB but I haven't
heard if anyone responded to his offer.  If you are still looking for an
instructor or want to know what it is like flying supersonic respond to
me directly off list and I'll give you his email address.  He is not
currently on the LML list and has not yet committed to which airplane to
build.  He is planning on coming down soon to look at our Super ES under
construction.  He is like me, currently flying a 177.  I also own a
TR182.
BTW, he is also the guy who had to do a one gear up landing at DFRC in
an F18.
