with a 120 Knot headwind, the crowd would have a lot more viewing time of a flyby LOL!

400 Knots would be 280 Ground Speed.

Thanks for the ping (and, again, for all your support as I broke through brick walls and FINALLY solo'd!)

BTW, someone posted a "vanity" this morning asking why the BlueJet pilots didn't just go on to New York rather than using up the gas. Immediately there were 15 or so informed responses about drag, etc. Have been trying to find that thread for the past hour as I would be interested in reading more responses (being a newbie aviation junkie :o) ) Would appreciate if you have a link.
