The only way Pat can own me here is if he uses a different interpretation of "The runway moves in the opposite direction of the plane at the exact same speed as the plane's wheels" than the one I am using. I consider conveyor belt movement to be ft/sec over its pulley, and wheel movement to be ft/sec over its rolling surface.
