Leaving all engines running at the gate
In article ,
John wrote: 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? |
