Nazgul do not fly. They are the shadows of men enslaved by Sauron through the use of the 'Nine Rings for Mortal Men doomed to die." They had flying steeds, fell beasts that they rode, it is supposed that these steeds flies fairly fast, particularly when they are in a hurry. In the movie, "The Return of the King" Gandalf says to Pippin that from Edoras to Minas Tirith is "three days ride, as the Nazgul flies... and you'd better hope we don't have one of those on our tail."

In addition, it says at the very end of book 3 (about the middle of two towers) that a Nazgul can fly 200 leagues (about 800 miles) in "a few hours". Assuming "a few" means 3-5, a flying Nazgul in a hurry is moving somewhere between 160 and 270 Mph.
