What is the question? If it is how long John was in the air, that would be twice the length of time that it takes to fall 1 mile. I assume you can calculate that.

Have you ever heard of
X = (1/2) g t^2 ?

Do it in feet. g = 32.2 ft/s^2.
X = 5280 feet.
Don't forget to double t. The time going up equals the time coming down.
