re: #123 tradewind

You gotta love the way that Obama ducked out of the final vote at the conference on global warming… he blamed it on the impending massive snowstorm in DC.
(And had AF One race home at double speed to beat it. ’ Damn the carbon footprint, beat the blizzard!’).

You’re kidding right? Typical cruising speed at altitude is about mach 0.85. There is no such thing as “racing home at double speed.”
