What?

He's saying that, by definition, the AOA is the wing's angle to the
*relative* airflow. Pitch is relative only to the ground, and really has
no
bearing on this entire discussion.
Frank,
The sentence above read: "at a higher airspeed, the plane is likely to be
climbing, therefore the relative wind will be coming from above."
I don't understand the first part (higher speed and climbing?) and the
second part is wrong.
