acceleration put into perspective
Here is one for an air racer I thought was interesting. May not be as impresive as a dragster but kind of is when you consider they have to fly the plane to there, race it, (they go a lot further than a 1/4 mile. LOL) then fly it back home. This plane is even a little on the slow side buy todays standerds.
