NYers call it the Van Weep expwy for good reason. I haven’t taken a flight in or out of JFK in decades.

That is unreal. Ship that size is going too fast anyway as it approaches a bridge.

Sometimes you have to go faster to maintain steerage. For example, if the current is 4 knots and you are going in the same direction of the current, then you have to go faster than 4 knots in order to be able to steer and change direction.

A lot of top 4 seeds in the sweet 16. Cream rising to the top or something else? You decide.

I saw that yah. The ship issued a mayday call which helped in having fewer people on the bridge I read as well.

Huh. I’ve never given that a thought before. There would still be air going over the wings, so life would be created, but probably not enough lift to sustain flight so you would descend. Stalling is only relative to angle of attack. This is making my head hurt.
Gliders land with tailwinds.
Back in my CFI days my favorite thing to do was slow flight in high winds. We would be at about 56-57 knots into a 70 knot head wind and fly back wards, I would then retract the flaps while keeping the back pressure and allow the wing to drop. It was fun, for me at least.

101, heading for a high of 105. Feels like 111.
April and May are our hottest months. Come Thursday a high of 86. Almost sweater weather.
Come on down Velo Vol!

I don't know the answers to these things other than what I've experienced sailing. For example, if I'm going dead down wind in a sailboat at 3 knots in a 3 knot wind, then I'm just getting pushed and the sails (foils) are not generating any lift.
