Subject: RE: When is sunset in an airplane

Andy.Goldfinger@Jhuapl.ed (33:6) asks about which sunset is used to
determine the end of a fast day if you are flying in an airplane.

I would simply answer "Replace the airplane by a mountain" Clearly in a
mountain you go by the sunset AT THAT ALTITUDE. The same would be true
in a plane.

By the way you would still have to wait till the stars come out
