“WHO NEEDS A CONCORDE?”

Perhaps those going in the opposite direction?

Did passengers end up a few seconds younger than relatives waiting at the airport due to Einstein’s theories?

No, but they saw dinosaurs in New York and the 1939 World’s Fair.

One of my most prized possessions is my Mach 2 pin. We had to run our F-4’s out to max speed after an aircraft underwent major repairs.

I was too busy squeezing my cheeks to check our ground speed. Long story.

Obviously the jet stream was extra fast because of global warming.
Which means that global warming saves fossil fuel.

RE: They weren’t going the speed of light.

I did not say so or imply that. Approaching , though....

“Special relativistic time dilation. The faster the relative velocity, the greater the time dilation between one another, with time slowing to a stop as one approaches the speed of light.”

Plus, it’s humor so I get to say things Mulder would say and Scully would scorn.

The west bound flights will soon be landing in the city they took off from as they were blown back to where they started.

“On August 21, 1961, a DC-8 broke the sound barrier at Mach 1.012 (660 mph/1,062 km/h) while in a controlled dive through 41,000 feet (12,497 m) and maintained that speed for 16 seconds. “

Truly acting when two people who didn’t get along and actually had feuds could act with such chemistry bonding between them.

I never saw even one episode until a month ago and I am now catching up decades too late.

Worse trouble was on one of my favorite shows Criminal Minds in which the Hotch actor (Thomas Gibson) had anger outbursts including a fistfight during filming. Was suspended and ordered to anger management, then returned then kicked out by the bosses. Too bad.

And Mark Harmon argued with Pauley Perrette and disliked her so much he fired her. Big loss for the fans of NCIS.
