How so?

The overland range when using Flight is twice as long as that you get while using Hawk Flight. Meanwhile, an hour is plenty for combat situations.

Hawk Flight is superburner, Flight is cruising speed.

No it's not. Flight is Move 10, Hawkflight is Move 40 both have duration 1 minute. Flight range is a quarter of Hawkflights. As I said you got which is the long distant spell backwards.

Not for the item. His Flight boots give you one hour of Hawk Flight or eight hours of Flight. Spell duration doesn't matter for these enchanted boots.

Your problem isn't hawk flight, because those boots aren't hawk flight; those boots are just flight speed 40.

This makes sense to me - it certainly seems possible, just would take a bit of practice to get used to.

My point really is that it would be tiring and difficult for long periods, at high speeds, and/or in strong winds. Actually strong winds and fatigue together could make it extremely dangerous.
