Milestone, you are correct! When I looked at the bottom of Rufus’s caboose the groove was facing towards the track. Nothing glued yet!!

Maths exam question: An airliner is schedule to depart City A at 9:50am and arrive at City B at 12:15pm, flying a distance of 945 miles. Calculate the odds of that ever really effing happening. Show your work.

Slim if they were headed East to West because of time zones, West to East, NO WAY JOSE!

What about North to South or South to North witth no crossing of time zones? Probably still the same.

You lads are making this waaaaaay to complicated.

And no-one has shown their work!

Sarge,
I don't think anybody did any work.

[Tom Dempsey]

Apparently all victims of the decline of American public education.

I'm retired - I don't work.

You exam question makes does not state that takeoff and landing happen on the same day. Our only factors are 9:45 am 12:15 pm and 945 miles. With these parameters it's very favorable. Now throw in on the same day and things change.

Could be I Follow Roads.
I was alittle surprised some years ago to find that when Army helicopters went between bases in Georgia they followed US and GA highways.
They still do.

Ah - some Tuesday posts. Where is everybody - on Easter break?

I too will be following roads - taking an old Aeronca out of Florida next week. In the southeast, an engine failure can mean snakes and crocopiggles. Out west it just means very hot and very dry!

Can't post, busy doing scenery, writing, editing, and getting next Winter's firewood collected - Winter is coming!

Is that being optimistic or pessimistic ?
