I remember once I flew, at night from St. Louis to Springfield, MO, 217 miles. Driving can take about 3 hours, but the flight was 25 minutes. I remember keeping my eye on St. Louis the whole time during the flight. Before my soda was even gone we began our descent into Springfield.

From how ever high up we were I could see the HUGE glow of St. Louis all the way in Springfield. I thought it was going to be the longest flight the world, because I felt we were still in the St. Louis area.
