"Yesterday I saw a cargo jet (a major air express company) come to what
seemed like a dead stop in midair as it was making its ascent. After
about 20 - 30 seconds of hanging without dropping out of the sky, it
continued climbing and apparently did not crash.

As a daily traveler near a major metro airport, I'd really like to be
reassured that this is not a common occurrence.

Wish you could of been at an airport in Iowa when I "backed" a sailplane down
the full legnth of the airport then zoomed back to the other end to pull up
into a nice wingover before starting the landing pattern. Mac
