This sounds like the most reasonable answer so far to me.

Especially considering, as I've already written, that:

1) All 4 turbines were running at a *constant* speed (and pretty fast
too) for the two hours I observed them.

2) None of the other adjacent jets I observed had their turbines
turning. Had it been the wind, the same condition would have been
observed on at least some of the other jets, no?

And 3) I have seen planes parked at the gate in MUCH windier
conditions and the turbines weren't turning at all.


Did yu see any heat-caused distortions from the exhaust?

Perhaps with the APU or the power cart running, the bleed air was open
and pushing the turbines??
