Yea, I had the TiVo searching for it for the last few weeks. I see
that its set to record soon (I never actually pay attention to when a
show is on anymore). I'm looking forward to it. To me the interesting
part will not be the experiment but the premise. Do some believe that
an airplane generates lift as a result of the speed of the wheels?

I'd be interested in knowing whether they can detect the actual lift
derived from the wheels spinning as the plane lifts off...

:-O
