jtr,

Thats kinda what I was thinking. After 160 kts you are doing about 260 ft per second increasing to 301 fps at 180 kts. Your going to need a lot of runway to stay on the ground for 30 more seconds. Even if you stayed at 180 kts after 10,500 and kept it on the ground for another 30 seconds you would burn up +9000 ft of runway. I am speculating that the answer to specnut727's trivia question is that you end up in the water.
