The above question should read, "...turn around and fly back to
airport "A" now with a 20 mph tailwind at the same TAS."
In other words, if you takeoff from airport "A" and fly 200 miles into
a 20 mph headwind to airport "B" at 100 mph (TAS) and then turn around
and fly back to airport "A" now with a 20 mph tailwind at the same TAS
will you complete the roundtrip flight in the same time as if you had
made the flight in no-wind conditions?
Okay, I'll bite.
Looks like the no-wind solution is 4 hours, the headwind/tailwind
solution is 4.17 hours.
Just in case I win, I prefer Lagavulin 16. I'll skip the seegar.
