Default Just a Question

HI everyone, did you ever stop and think, how you would describe , what we do. I could say, I Fly a turbine powered jet at 200 MPH, but I do not think, I could say, how far away, I fly, could you.
I guess 1/2 a mile.
Lets here your best answer.

I think that you will find this data interesting. This is a GPS traced flight path from a xtreme jets (Skymaster) rafale, using a P120 from a friend of mine who plotted the data on Google maps.. this is a typical average flight for a "small" jet going at about 170 mph max speed.

The runway lenght is precisely 200 meters or 650 feet.

Hi Jose, doing fine and looking forward to my visit there! About the data, those are typical distances but larger aircraft can go further.

And indeed, one of this neighbords loves when we crash in his property, as we need to pay for compensating the property damage.. (usually a chiken that stopped putting eggs, or broken tiles).
