<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 942361, member: 24633"]The word "airway" doesn't necessarily refer only to the route an airplane would fly. Many birds, even some butterflies, follow specific airways in their migrations north and south. Since the original discussion centered around a sailing ship of the 15th century, and we know that airplanes did not exist for another 400+ years, isn't it logical to assume that the word "airways" referenced the flight path of a bird?</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
