I'm with you, Igor. I live about 10 km south of Toronto's largest airport so when the wind's from the north those big suckers fly over my house.
When I was a kid living near Montreal's airport the biggest things flying over were 707s and dc8s. Boy those straight jet engines were loud! Today's passenger jets are bigger, quieter and when on their landing approach they seem to be going so ~slow~! It just doesn't seem possible that they should be able to stay airborne at those speeds.

Thanks for sharing, Paul! Being a physicist, I understand what makes a plane flying. However, I am always surprised that such a big piece of metal can fly. (Especially when I am sitting inside of one.) Igor On 30 December 2011 20:33, Paul Stenquist <pnstenquist at comcast.net> wrote: > Pretty amazing.
