the closest the two jets came on converging paths was around 11 miles....”

11 miles is a "near miss"? Really?

I don’t know what the protocol is for the airspace around AF-1, so I don’t know if 11 miles would classify as a close call.

But the UK enemediot outlet sourced Bluesky and some dude on X.

And if they did may any attempt to verify any of what they were reporting, they sure didn’t include that info, did they?

The UK has a Deep State, too. And enemedia that serves its Deep State.

People forget that at their peril.

><

For two planes converging ad 400 Knots each, or 800 Knots total, 11 miles is less than 1 minute until they are on top of each other.

But if both aircraft are doing around 500 miles per hour, they can close that 11 miles in about 90 seconds.

(Did I do that math right?)

near miss of planes traveling 300mph or 600mph combined - count the seconds to closing. did you get past 2?

A crash is a ‘near miss’.

‘Look, they almost missed.’

‘Yeah, but not quite.’

Perhaps some extra seconds but …


An Airbus can cover 11 miles in approximately 10 to 11 seconds, 
as most jet airliners cruise at about 450 knots 
(approximately 518 mph or 740 ft/sec).
