How are the Supers making their way across country now BDGR?
Still using Millington. One of my parting shots to -106 was starting the process for the TCN approach there.
3 legs on the way out is still the standard. Meridian/Amarillo, Scott AFB(or Lambert)/ABQ or COS. I like the turn in Madison when my jet doesn't break or the ANG doesn't get ****y about landing at "their" airport. Would you believe the Guard has a NOTAM in Madison saying no carrier breaks and PPR required even if parking at the FBO? Go figure...from MSN I generally go to COS or BKF then on into Fallon or El Centro.
On the way home with decent winds 2 legs is definitely the way to go either through Ft Worth/Tinker/Tulsa/Ft Smith then to Oceana, otherwise reverse routing on the 3 leg plan. We're generally carrying IMERs and a tank so the jets have a bit of drag.
