> You will see the light of the day moving from the east to the west, as the

> leaving the North American continent and travelling at night to arrive in

> in the morning and flying to the American continent in daylight.

> This is something that everyone should see. For us old-timers it is really

> You can tell it was spring time in the north by the sun's foot print over

> and it didn't quite rise in the extreme south. We are taught about the

> just what is going on. With this 24 hour observation of aircraft travel on
> the earth's surface we get to see the daylight pattern move as well.
> Remember watch the day to night..... Day is over in Australia when it
> starts.
