Mighty Favog Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I've got an app on my phone telling me the speed I'm moving. It's fun in the car or on the bus but I really want to try it on the plane next year when we go to Manhattan. Should be about 30k ft. @ 400mph. (wonder if it will go that high?? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my brothers tests new engines for just that at GE Aircraft Engines in Cincinnati. Edited June 17, 2014 by Mighty Favog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 19, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hey, USN, you need to quit chatting with us losers and pay attention to the runway!! Or if commercial and not military pay attention to the stewardess, forget the runway. It's very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
