An airplane releases a balloon that stays at that altitude over point A. It then flies outbound for 45 minutes when it passes another airplane at the same altitude going the same speed but in the opposite direction. (instant turn) The second plane makes a bee line from that passing directly to the balloon. It catches the balloon over point B on the ground. Points A and B are 75 nautical miles apart.
What is the wind speed at that altitude?
(Air Force types and engineers will not get the solution, but the new guys getting their private license will.)
See you on Monday, have a nice weekend.
