The bumpy wheels

Time to go. You'll hear the engines rev up as you start moving forward.

"You'll be able to tell if a wheel is a little out of round because the bump of the tar strips mingle with the speed of the spinning wheels as they speed up and go blump, blump, blump," says Leary. When the "slapping" stops, you're in the air.
