Excuse my laziness but if anyone feels like checking some distances for

172SP, fully loaded, 73' field elevation (Bermuda Dunes, CA), 120

I have a feeling the density altitude isn't going to make this
feasible.

decrease distance 10% for each 9 knot headwind. Increase distance 10%
for each 2knots of tailwind up to 10 knots.

Luck.
