Fu.. I can see now you are saying the same. This calls for the exact quote:

"The observer in the balloon reads the temp. as OAT, while the pilot in the highspeed aeroplane will call his temp. SAT. However the temperatures are identical if no motion taking place" (I read that as OAT + ramrise = SAT).

Is anybody reading that differently or should I throw the book away?
