good clip. No wind
involved there. Besides, with the size of those things, it would take
a hurricane to keep them turning for two hours.

Iberia usually parks at gate 27 where the prevailing wind blows up the
tailpipes. A 4 knot wind is sufficient for spinning a fan disk. If you could
see the blades, the engines weren't running.
