Hey all,
went to Guatemala City the other day and was just looking out thinking it would probably not be a good idea to overshoot the runway here! lol

It's not the fall that will kill you...it's the sudden stop at the end. :)

Love the visuals Mike, what are you using? Lol! ;D

What always amazes me are the wipers. You would think they would be hidden like they do in cars, not so much for looks in this case but to reduce drag & wind noise. I'm also amazed they don't start flopping in the wind when you are cruising at high speeds, particularly in heavy turbulence.

Those wiper arms are built like tanks,cost the price of a whole car, and stay in place.

much like a car over a certain spd they the wipers become useless as for drag I would think it would be minimal just my 2 cents worth
You're probably right re. drag otherwise the airlines would be screaming as they try to squeeze every ounce of savings they can get
