I have some videos on my comp, one of a cobra, and one of a cessna...i was thinking, who would have a faster 1/2mi. ill show you, and you be the judge.

Cessna 172 (http://video.skyfilmproductions.com/video.php?id=4885b74c8064208fe2b7cede3eb390ec&type=2)

Cobra (http://www.goyk.com/video.asp?path=1447)

my money is on the cobra, but i think it would be a close race. The cobra would so get him from the line, but i think the Cessna would real him in, then fly over him at the end.
