Low-speed aircraft have the same amount of time to spot a high-speed

Pilots of high-speed aircraft must look much farther ahead than pilots
of low-speed aircraft.



If the time is the same, so is the distance, Larry.

As long as you are obsessing, why not do it carefully?

Each of your statements above may be true under a limited set of
circumstances but untrue under many others. If you expect us to go
along on this rant-ride with you, then bother to care as much for
the truth which resides in the details as you claim to care for the
so-called victims of imagined crimes.
