I shouldn't I know, but
Dear BOAC
Why do you feel personally addressed??
Do you always take everything so personally? "dear guys and girls" I wrote, not "Dear BOAC".
I agree: you can stop a flippin' tsunami on a 10m long r/w, dooh.
what I meant was that stopping after v1 you might not be in as good shape as you were 1 second ago, that's all. have a look: I mentioned "directional control", too.
Have you ever done a high speed reject, in anger, in your career?
I had a peek at your profile. Apart from being a Capt with A, and being an almighty, enviable, Ubermensch aka moderator of this forum it doesn't say that much.
could it be that you are a retired BA Capt thinking you have eaten wisdom with a spoon?
none of the above gives you the right to shoot me down like you have. I expressed an oppinion and I thought it was justified, that's what these forums are here for, right?
remember:respect is earned, not commanded!
