\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Same time --> no wind
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the speed of the plane in still air.
\n" ); document.write( "THAT'S CALLED AIRSPEED, NOT the speed of the plane in still air.
\n" ); document.write( "= 780/2 = 390 mi/hr\r
