It's only a bit more likely than the early Citation bizjets having birdstrikes from behind - they got teased about it by the other bizjets. And now I'll pull my head in, since I often have to accept 60 knots groundspeed on a powered cross country flight. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
