The past couple of days have made me stop and think about the marvels of modern aviation. As an example; on Thursday, I departed Teterboro, NJ in a 300 kt. turboprop headed for Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The average headwinds were about 85-90 kts. With a refuel and lunch stop, the trip took nine hours.
The next day I boarded an airliner headed for Florida. With the same or better winds, this time on the tail, and in a 480 kt. airliner, I made it home in 15 hours and my bags made the same journey in just 27 hours flat!
Is THIS what they call Jet Lag?
