Jaxass was the one the knots per hour was refered to. He wants it that way.

Why do you not think a jetliner can travel at 175 (shorthand knots) knots per hour (kph)? Bill, I agree he's dumb as dirt, but a "knot" is not referred to as "per hour" & kph usually refers to kilometers per hour most everywhere that is metric which is most everywhere except the US. A knot is special in the sense it's a measure of time combined with distance in itself (when a board is thrown astern with an attached rope, so many knots 47.25ft apart, passed in 28 seconds) or 0.5144444 m/s or 1.688888 f/s or 1.853 kph or it's a minute of latitude on the earth's surface traveled in one hour. It's true @ 1 knot you will have traveled 6080ft or 1 nautical mile in an hour & then you could express that as a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour or 1 knot, never 1 knot per hour:-) K Takeoff and landing is at about 160 in most of the heavys.

And a lot more fun to read. billie, cussler has made a lot of money writing totally off the wall stories for little boys who fancy themselves heros for a long time. Wasn't it cussler who wrote about the jet airliner traveling at the incredible speed of 175 knots per hour? |

![]() "K. Smith" wrote in message ... I assume the pup is gone?? commiserations to you & Mrs E. K Thanks, but it's premature for commiserations. The 14+ year old "pup" is still alive and kicking, which is another reason for our temporary independent travel plans. The day is coming very soon, but Mrs. E. can't bear to part with him until he begins to suffer. She has three of these Westie dogs, two males and one female. The female (Molly) is 3 years old and is a hoot. The two males, (Major and Minor) are both old timers at 14 years, but still act like puppies most of the time. Major (the sick one) is the alpha and Minor, who I swear is retarded, is emotionally attached to Major big time. We decided that I should take Minor with me on this trip so it won't be a big shock to his emotional well-being when the day comes that Major bites the dust. So, Minor is with me and has decided that I am his new best friend. He is also the one that jumped up on the doorsill of the landyacht last year while I was pumping gas. His paw hit the electric lock button and locked me out of the RV with the keys inside, with a line of cars behind me waiting to get gas. He knows what it's like to have a near-death experience.

Really bad luck, would have been a ticket from the ASPCA. There are laws about locking pets in hot cars. ;-) He knows what it's like to have a near-death experience. Only near-death? You are clearly a patient man. |

Indeed...which novel? 'Flood Tide' pub 1977 And are you sure it was a 275 Yamaha? Or is Cussler confused? Pg 501 - "The boat, a twenty-five-foot Parker with a cabin, was powered by a 250 Yamaha outboard....." BTW - the boats name... "Divercity" ================================== I stand corrected on the engine HP. I thought it might be wrong, but didn't go back to double check. I agree that his novels border on sci-fi, but they're fun to read. I doubt that the SS United States could travel at 50 MPH up the MIssissippi River, either........ |
