Don't know the answer, but certainly FR8DOG does. Try going to the

park off the Potomac across from the DCA runway. That's crazy close watching them go over and you can feel the jetwash (thanks Maverick)

There's also a golf course in Dallas that is really close to DFW. Has an M.Knight feel to it..just after the planes passes you can hear "strange" whipping noises up in the trees. First time I played there it took us a few holes to figure it out.

(there's also gun range near DFWyou'll be shooting skeet while planes cross your sites. I know it's way to far to hit with a shotgun, but still pretty crazy feeling the first time you go)

What part(s) don't you understand? I'll be glad to explain. ** -- F4EHokie 01/23/2021 09:25AM

Thanks. My question wasn’t about how planes work and how -- PhotoHokieNC 01/23/2021 09:46AM

Absolutely! Landing speed is directly related to the aircraft's weight. ** -- F4EHokie 01/23/2021 09:54AM

Bingo! ** -- PhotoHokieNC 01/23/2021 10:03AM

Ask him to speak in jive, it may help ** -- VaTechie 01/23/2021 12:00AM

As yet, no actual pilots have chimed in. Tap tap tap. Is this thing on? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 01/22/2021 6:49PM

Mostly it’s weight. Some aircraft land faster that others (MD-11 is -- B777Fr8Dog 01/22/2021 6:49PM

Well that explains some things but we’re not seeing an optical illusion. -- PhotoHokieNC 01/22/2021 7:00PM

Speed of head wind? Air density? ** -- scoop76cs 01/22/2021 6:15PM

Head wind/air density..........you still have to fly the aircraft.......... -- F4EHokie 01/22/2021 9:42PM

Good question -- Newt 01/22/2021 5:54PM
