I think that the "Lost taxes" on that runway is more than recouped by a passenger tax of a few dollars a head levied on the airport and paid for by you and I. <br /> <br />I clean forgot about the areodynamics I had my head down heah on the rail too long. <br /> <br />Jack_S IMHO It is not the gain in time, but average miles an hour overall. One bad case of slowdown of a few minutes (15 minutes) can totally destroy that time savings. <br /> <br />It is difficult to get any organized political body such as Congress to do anything that will expedite High speed. I think that this is because our elected lawmakers are chauffered about in limos and charter jets insulated from the grubby "Masses" that has to go to work every morning. <br /> <br />It is my hope that Private Sector can make something happen for the USA in our life time.
