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.
I heard something about some place out there saying no carrier breaks.
The USN/USMC bases ought to put a NOTAM out requiring carrier breaks
I'm surprised even carrying the IMERs or tanks that the Supers have any trouble with making two legs considering how much more gas they carry. That routing you gave was the standard Legacy route - Tinker being my usual since I had family in town, but I hit Tulsa a few times too.
