Okay, I don't know which answer is right, with a wind, the cirrus has more time before arriving to earth, or not. It's a worthwhile discussion and thinking point while we're not flying, but it's not worth rudeness, nor emotion, so reign it in! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, politely expressed, someone's opinion is probably correct. It won't hurt anyone for a trigonometry review, which is why I have not deleted a couple of posts, nor locked the thread. The principles here are worth discussion, but they're not worth an argument.

So, someone(s) who knows a lot more about trigonometry than I, please feel welcomed to post some math with lines at angles, and the rest of us will learn something we will hopefully never use!
