My brother was correct and all the neighbors including wives were against him. He tried to explain that its simple math. They were all telling him the flight from Houston to Las Vegas was 2 hrs.
Proof that the majority can all believe one thing and still be wrong.
I once had to show a Brain Surgeon how to operate a toggle switch.
Im not surprised that an ALABAMA PHD could be wrong.
My research shows Houston to LasVegas 1232 miles by a crows flight.
It seemed inpossible to me that a 737 could average well over 600 miles per hour for 2 hours. It must in order to make the flight time be 2 hours and must include takeoff and landing.
Just doesnt seem possible it could happen.
I agree its just simple math.
My younger brother was ganged up on by the neighbors and they all thought he was an idiot for thinking flight time was 3.5 hrs as noted above.
He called me to see what I thought and I said 3.5 hrs.
I see no other way the simple math works out.
I considered the possibility that maybe there was something I didnt know.
The 1070 nm trip seems impossible in that plane in 2 hrs.
WHAT SAY YOU?
