Otto, Thanks. Der, frickin Bernoulli. It still seems, actual pressure aside, there is something to what I'm on to here. The reason the pressure is so low here (Where I say it's highest) is because the air is moving fastest, so it's sort of a dynamically driven low....actually it isn't sort of...It Be a Dynamic Low.

So what is Alan feeling as the area between the top of the windshield and the front of the sun roof dash underneath him? What force is acting on our "Air Drop" friend? Keep in mind, we are thinking in terms of sitting by the side of the road and we're watching a neutrally buoyant sphere our Air Drop Alan as it passes over the top of a car that goes by, how does it move? What force does it feel?
