A large airplane always appears to be goig slower than it is, because
we tend to judge speed by how long it takes the tail to reach the
spot where the nose was.

How true; saw the Galaxy last year, and that really looked slow.

The Vimmy really _is_ going slow. Perhaps someone will correct me, but I
seem to remember that it's maximum speed is around 55 MPH. Get that huge
thing going that slow, and it is going to look *really * slow.
