Since the flight time includes time to taxi from and to the gate, we should subtract 45 minutes from each time to account for this. Not shown, I was able to find out the plane was scheduled to fly a 2319 mile flight path. Assuming the plane and wind speeds are constant during both flights, estimate the wind speed, to 1 decimal place.<BR>\n" );
