How do VX and VY change as an aircraft climbs to higher altitudes? What is
the altitude at which VX and VY are the same?


Scenario
========

After an unplanned overnight at a small Nebraska airport, you start a
takeoff run for the remaining trip in clear skies and cold air. The
airplane doesnt seem to have its normal vigor at rotation speed and
wallows into the air. Then it climbs normally while the airspeed goes to
zero. Is this a big deal?
