I was converted to metric long ago, so 120 miles X 1.609 = 193 kilometres plus about 750 metres.
193750 metres.
Flying with a not quite tail wind, shall we say 1350 metres per minute. Thats 140.90 minutes
2 hours 20 and 54 seconds.

Re: Guess the time

Hey guys, don't worry about me. If it makes better sense to have the comp on Phil's loft this week just do it.
