Garry: Think of the poor souls that were going west, they are probably still in the air.
Our flight from Phoenix to Nashville last night was with a very strong tail wind. ... Upon arrival, the pilot said this the flight was the fastest he had flown in his 22 years with Southwest Airlines. It was over 700 mph. We arrived 40 minutes early even though there was a delay departing from Phoenix.

Anyone ever have that moment when you just feel like a total idiot? Yeah I had that moment tonight.

Sherrel ... 850 mph ! ... and the wings stayed on ? ? ?
Anything to do with the Snap Switches? Might save me time on the other thread. And if it is any comfort regarding the idiocy, I've been there and done that and have a few trophy's to commemorate!Anyone ever have that moment when you just feel like a total idiot? Yeah I had that moment tonight.
Maybe you should have turned the plane around and put the engines in reverse!Been there too! Good for the paycheck, but cuts into the Happy Hour! How do you say-"Boring"?
I like the walthers locomotives. They are out of my price range though.....as most new to the market locomotives are. I know they have alot of details and upgraded mechanisms that makes them worth the price. I'm willing to bet they don't hum like my Athearns do.Good morning. 18 degrees to start the day off and we are supposed to get above the freezing point.
Justin - Got this in the mail yesterday and you were the first person to come to mind. Hope you can find out what is causing the dead spot. Make sure that the points are making contact with the stock rail.

Sherrel - I know exactly what you are talking about. I just fly small aircraft and the winds can really make a difference. I've had to actually stop and refuel on a trip where I should have made it with plenty of fuel left due to headwinds.
Ken D&J - Great explanation of the winds.
Willie - We also grill quite a lot, also 3 to 4 days a week and it really takes some extreme circumstances to keep us from grilling.
Here's a rail photo for today.

I think he was saying that was the ground speed. His air speed was still about 500mph, but the air was moving some 200mph as well. Sorta like your running speed is 5 mph but if you ran from the back of a passenger car toward the front while the train was moving at 50 mph, your ground speed would be 55 mph.
