Nick,
when you say "That is pure speculation, but it has a certain ring to it, I think.", I assume that was a totally unintentional pun!


Shawn,
I'm a little confused by you talking about being upwind or downwind when trying to enter VRS. I mean if you're starting off at 60 knots IAS what difference does it make what the air is doing relative to the ground? I mean, you're still flying relative to the airmass. I'm not trying to pick holes, I just don't get it! Maybe I'm a bit slow today.

P.S. I really enjoyed your book!
