You know what strikes me as odd about the Minetta account... not that I don't believe him...
A 757 cruises as 500 mph and would travel 20 miles in 2 min 24 seconds at that speed. Whomever this man was that was making these 20 mile reports he must have been running back and forth like crazy... If the plane was traveling at half the speed... and I don't recall what the speed was... it would have taken 5 minutes to cover 20 miles.
Where was this young man going to get that information?
