Not to nit-pick, but being an engineer I'm going to wax anal retentive for a minute, so please pardon the rambling....
a "knot" is a measure of speed (nautical miles per hour), so that would make knots/hour a measure of acceleration....which at 110 knots/hour you could make the 1100 mile trip from Denver to Pittsburg in just under 3 hours.
That's movin pretty quick for a piper archer

Yes, you are correct. Bad habit of mine to add the /hour to knots which is not correct. Well I did say I had a strong tail wind ;)
