Where Are the Planes Going?
I live in Rockville, West End, just south of Rt. 28. For years I've see airliners pass just south of my house at a low altitude going from east to west.
I have a pretty good sense of geography. I know we are at about the latitude as Dulles Airport, a little north of it, and about twelve miles away. I also know the approach path to National Airport is over the Potomac River. The river is about six miles away to the west and we're a little over twenty miles away from that airport as the crow flies.
I can never figure out where the planes over my house are going. National? Dulles? Both?
