Nack.

Probably they are using low or medium earth orbit satellites, which
_are_ damn fast in orbit. Otherwise the round trip time would be
unacceptably high.

As the whole thing is 3D, some of them might have contact to
ground stations on this or the other side of the great lake,
depending on their 3D position, even thru the plane travels
on a well defined track (probably a 3D circle, too) in just one
direction only.

Ceterum censeo: Nevertheless this moving-clients application shows
some demand for a true-location-independend IP-addresses
announcement feature (provider independend "roaming") in IPv6,
as in v4 (even thru this isn't the "standard" way, but Connexion is
anything but standard). Shim etc. is not sufficient ...

Kind Regards
Oliver
