[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1621781, member: 234411"] Hi again [B]Nick[/B] - well, I just looked up the mileage between NYC & Paris = 3,625 miles which was accomplished in about 3 hrs; of course, departing & arriving @ much slower speeds over land. Relative to the speed of sound through different media, i.e. different densities, I was an abdominal radiologist and did ultrasound, so aware of the physics, BUT even @ 60k ft still pretty fast. Ya know, one of the best parts of those two flights were looking at the gals that served us & the food & drinks - French champagnes before dinner, a good meal, and a little cart coming down the aisle w/ after dinner drinks - I usually don't drink on planes but this was an exception & I was much younger then - drank TOO much! BUT, what can one say in an experience of a life time? Dave :) [/QUOTE]
