May I ask a stewpid newbie question? OK, thanks, I will.
I have always heard/read that airliners travel "at about 600 MPH." Actual speeds are sometimes referred-to (by badly informed authors?) as 500-something MPH.
330 KTS apparently translates to ~380 MPH. What gives? I do realize that actual airspeed is different from ground speed. What am I missing here?
