A plane flies from Penthaven to Jackson and then back to Penthaven.  When there is no wind, the round trip takes $3$ hours and $20$ minutes, but when there is a wind blowing from Penthaven to Jackson at $70$ miles per hour, the trip takes $3$ hours and $50$ minutes.  How many miles is the distance from Penthaven to Jackson?

(Assume that the plane flies at a constant speed, and that the turnaround time is negligible.)
