Well now: 18000 mph = 8 km/sec = 800 sec at 1 g. Approx 3200 Km, or 2000
miles.
At 3g (reasonable for most people) 266 sec, about 200 miles.
In New York to Los Angeles, you get about 8 minutes of microgravity (using
3g).
For more fun, the free fall trajectory will vary according to the time of day
due to the moon....
