80 to 90 miles?? about 12-15 minutes.. at 420 TAS.. that's 7 miles per
minute..
of course they could do it faster.. or slower.. to savor the trip..

We had a flight of F-16s fly over for the July 4th festivities today.
We're
guessing that they were from the Wright Patterson AFB and flew into
Columbus
on request for the parade. We watched them fly over and were wondering
how
fast they normally fly. Basically, we were trying to figure the time to
travel the 80-90 miles back to Dayton. Either way, it was awesome, and I
couldn't imagine what it would look like for someone knowing that the
planes
meant bombs were going to drop.
