Fluid dynamics basically says that at very close distances to a surface, it doesn't matter how fast the fluid is flowing, the wind speed at the surface is very low, and approaches zero. So maybe he made it!
Actually, this is an approximations called the no-slip condition. The no-slip condition fails to hold at high altitudes, where the pressure is low. So it would probably be blown off the surface. To quote the parent in a completely different context: So maybe he made it!

So basically, the computer is... playing with us?
