60MY Air Draft

LOL. I do the same thing with my half empty water bottle when there's an FNG sitting next to me..... Most of the time they're smart enough but sometimes they eat it hook line and sinker. Of course at 35,000 feet with a buildup 60 miles away that doesn't work, as the earth is not flat. You're not a flat earther are you? And yes, at 7000 feet in a 172 it's a different story.

I was until I flew on the Concorde. FL 350 isn’t really high enough to tell.

Did you fly the Concorde? Braniff 1 or BA/AF? Yes you will see curvature quite pronounced at 600

But, as you probably know, sea level is high enough to tell.....Those that navigated in the mid to latter part of the last century learned it....

You'll have to let some air out of the tires, that will gain you a few inches.

I thing he just needs to line up a bunch of Big girls that never get invited on smaller boats, add plenty of food and drink should sit a bit lower. Then just avoid shallow places.
