I may get a job to move a plane from Mississippi back to my home airport here for someone that just bought. May delay my training for CFI, but think it'd be fun to do a real cross country.
I've not flown outside of Cali, so no idea what the southwest is like. In a glance I figure there would be a stop in maybe Texas and Arizona and SoCal maybe. Depending on how things lay out and all. No idea even the distance between airports out there, but I assume they are not as common as here in CA, where there tends to be a field ever 10-20miles wherever you go almost.
Looks like it would end up somewhere between 1600 and 2000 miles depending on the route.
Plane is a Cherokee 6, so about 130kts true, about 5hrs on full, so about 600miles per leg if there wasn't any winds or anything.
Suggestions of good stops along this type of route? Typical weather this time of year? (saw some strong winds in Texas yesterday on the news). Good long distance planning tools? Looks like half dozen VFR sectionals, and a few IFR enroute charts, and a number of approach charts.
I'm thinking I'll say like 25 or 30 per flight hour, plus expenses.
