I have no idea what's to drink down that way...I'm in the city. Too easy to take a cab or a train wherever, and not have to drive anywhere. Honestly, I used to live in NJ, and moved back to Philly almost solely for my social life. It's tough having to drive to a bar, and then only have one or two beers the whole night so you stay out of trouble on the way home. City life makes it easier...
Now driving around the city in this weather? That's another story

Matt....Ahhhh, Lou Turk's!! Haven't been there in a while. Was driving by it the other day with a guy from work, and he says, "Look, they bricked up the window I got thrown out of!"
What a place!

No. This has probably been said already but here's why. the plane is not actually moving but the engines are going full tilt. The engines do not provide lift, only thrust. The wings airfoil shape provides the lift so if there is no air travelling over/under the wings the plane will not be able to take flight.

The way I see it, There are factors that are being ignored.
The plane flys because of air flowing over the wing which produces "lift". The "thrust" of the engine moves the plane forward THRU the air therefore producing "air flow". If the plane doesn't move forward in relation to the envelope of "air" there is no flow, no lift, and the plane will not fly, regardless of the amount of "thrust". The wheels have nothing what so ever to do with the plane flying.
