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.


Because you spend more time going against the wind and fighting it, than you
spend with the wind and benefitting from it, so thats why you lose time
