Do you mean that the molecules of air flow slower than the air itself?
How is this possible?

Herb Gottlieb from New York City

To recap the prior debate: electrons move faster than their drift

and Dr Roger Bannister's legs moved faster than his bulk speed
when he ran the first four minute mile...)
