Default RE: Diving on downwind?

Gollywock. Check your statement. I think you are reversed. If you are moving along at 50mph and all of a sudden a 50mph tailwind hits, your plane is still moving 50mph ground speed but there is no air flowing over the wings and you will fall from the sky because you have lost all "airspeed".


Anybody else want to chime in?
