Well, we have Vinson stating he heard 'the President has been shot', then immediately the plane heads South to what he recognized from the skyline was Dallas. We do not know if this message and turn was just after the shots or sometime after - such as an hour after, and it is IMO not very important. It is where the plane went at about the 'right' time, and what happened to Vinson later that is - not to mention the Oswald look-alike [with a dark-skinned man] getting on - and Roswell being on lockdown, etc. As for the exact times of turning South or arrival in Dallas, we don't know if Vinson remembers these time exactly correctly, if his watch was on PST, CST or EST - and if he accounted for timezone in telling. I think these details are interesting, but doesn't change or really challenge his story. I see no small time window that makes or breaks his credibility.
To me, the fact this was never really investigated, except by private researchers [along with happenings at RedBird and other possible excapes by car and other means] informs more, IMO, than your trying to pick it apart to question his credibility and story. The official apparatus was, in part, involved in the assassination - and then did its level best not to investigate. Its still an open murder case of a President, and when Vinson made his statements and published his book someone on an official level should have investigated - but they did not - which, to me, only shows the cover-up continues and will continue. Ditto with Redbird and hundred of other events, persons, pieces of evidence, strange deaths, etc. They 'closed' the case about an hour after the shooting [actually before the shooting], and have never looked at much real evidence [as little as was possible] since.
