See Bobby run with his chili dog…

thames-300.jpgHey, Blog Guy! I’ve been following this Red Bull Air Race, held in various places around the world. I know you get around - have you seen it in person?

We do have video footage of a recent leg from London, as the planes do hairpin turns and other aerial acrobatics.

But I see this more as a math story problem. If a plane travels very close to the ground, at speeds of 250 mph… Let’s see, height divided by seconds, multiply, carry the 4… It looks like it could take about 2.2 seconds for one of them to get down to where I’m watching with my chili dog and root beer. So, I think I’ll just enjoy the nice Reuters video clips. Daragh Burke reports:

One comment so far

I can pretty much guarantee that my ‘luggage’ would have shifted position during the flight.
