It's not too hard to be passed by cars when in slow flight. What was insulting

hah One day, I got very fascinated watching someone turning
practice laps at Road Atlanta. I don't know what he was driving -- I
was watching from 3500 AGL -- but he was going nearly twice as fast as
I was in the Citabria (7KCAB), and that was a remarkable thing to
consider.
The way I look at it, as long as I'm in a 3-dimensional environment
it doesn't matter how fast they go down there.
