You are piloting a rescue plane delivering a bottle of Single Malt Scotch to some desperate fisherman
Question:
You are piloting a rescue plane delivering a bottle of Single Malt Scotch to some desperate fisherman in a lake in Northern Quebec. Unfortunately, the lake is fog-bound as you approach it and you must deliver your relief using the navigation beacon of the fisherman. You check your ground speed and the lowest you can get it to is 125125 km/hr and the minimum height from which you can drop the package so that it is safe for you to be able to clear the trees on the other side of the lake is 5050 m.
