They can hover in one spot. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rJsR01ZS5Q[/youtube] [/quote] He said it wasn't windy and that it took off fast from hover. Any small plane can hover if there is wind, for example a Cessna 152 only needs about 60 mph of wind to stay stationary, and another example are gliders they can catch up drafts that can make them seem like they are hovering. But the only jet that I know of apart from prototypes that can hover and then take off hauling ass is a Harrier. [/quote]

Coming home 6:30 pm tonight, I see a huge light in the sky
straight east of me. I am an hour west of Toronto so I do see alot of planes taxi-ing to land at Pearson. But this huge light remained stationary the whole time i was driving home which is a 15 minute drive??? Anyone else see it?
