Leave LHR 10am.
Assuming 2 hour crossing at FL95+ and Mach 5 or more.
Arrive JFK or LGA at 7am (do I have my sums right?)
Do deal and shake hands with Masters of Universe in midtown.
Leave at 5pm.
Presume you're well above any westerly jet-streams etc on the way home!
Back at LHR by midnight - and tucked up in bed in the Home Counties by 1am.
But what sounds really appealing is SYD-LAX in 4 hours or so.
Now that would be very cool...
And imagine flying the thing.
"Speedbird 001; top of descent, established on 100 mile final..."
That'd beat Brian Shul's speedcheck story hands down.
Sigh...
