Original Fujita scale estimates put the F5 wind range at 261-318 mph.

This has been adjusted on the Enhanced Fujita scale to anything over 200 mph for an EF5.

One F5 tornado had measured winds of 302 mph +/- 20. However, because direct measurements are rare it is unknown just how strong a tornad can get.

There is no such thing as a "cyclone 5 tornado." You can have a category 5 hurricane or an EF5 tornado. In either case, the answer would be no; there is too much turbulence.
