Hi Glueball

I hope you're not a pilot. It would be dangerous commanding a big jet if you hear voices in your ears. I never mentioned having engines windmilling in the airflow. Next time you're on Flight Simulator and you retract the undercarriage, have a look at the external view and you'll notice they're no longer sticking out. (Not my idea by the way - somebody thought of it in 1876. But I'm catching up fast)

You maybe right about the 747 but then again it might also be because it had to fly at a lower altitude than planned.
