Virgin (just like him)

I wish he was here. How can a plane go both 500 and 800 mph at the same time? Air vs ground speed.

Friction?

Did you ever walk up an escalator traveling up, Wally?

Yep, I love walking on people movers too.

At least he doesn't need to understand physics to do that.

So, is it going 800 mph or 500?

It's speed relative to the ground was 800 mph. (Groundspeed.)

It's speed relative the the air it was flying in is around 560 mph. (Airspeed.)
The jet stream (air) it was in was moving east in excess of 200 mph.

Simple.

What I was getting at is, what do pilots use?

I would think ground speed because the whole point is getting from ground point A to ground point B?

They use planes Wally, they use planes.

Planes bad.

They run on cow farts.

Not for long. The socialists will ban them to save the planet.

Start walking!

The socialists want most of the population to die. Except them. So they can live in a clean and unspoiled world. And die dirty and at a young age.
