Final Approach
Wellp.. I've finally got a general idea of the route to take to get from BNW (Boone, Iowa) to HND (Henderson, NV) next week.
My idea is: BNW - LQR - SAF - HND which results in just a hair over 7hrs of no-head/tailwind flying. I could do the whole trip in two stops, but we're not in a huge hurry to get there, so I'll stop more often so we can stretch our legs. We've got a new Aerox O2 system for the RV which will help get up to those OROCA's from SAF to HND.
Plan is to depart BNW pre-sunrise either Sunday or Monday (depending on weather window) to arrive in the mountains before afternoon heat gets things rocking.
Any tips/comments/suggestions on the route? I tried to get KBGD in the route as it was mentioned by folks here as a good GA friendly spot, but it was just out of range for a final leg.
