Flying the NGX to every capital city in alphabetical order.

Featured Replies

Just for kicks, I made a list of every capital city in the US. Then I gathered a little information about the airport in that area. I alphabetized the list, then flew from each capital to the next, in order. It was great fun. The biggest challenge was flying 3700+ miles from PHNL to KIND. You really need a good tailwind. Carson City is another good challenge. It is situated between two mountain ranges, and has a narrow runway. I started and ended in Washington, DC (KDCA).

I think next I'll do Europe.

Helena looks to be a breeze.

 

But, Carson City is a nasty CTL (no straight-in) GPS approach into a valley.

Looks like quite an adventure. How long did it take you to do that?

I forgot to update the list. Concord NH has a runway that is 6005 ft. (not the 3000 ft. listed). I really just assumed my NGX could fly into every airport and made it happen. I would say Carson City was the most "fun". I flew between one and three flights per day. I started on the 17th of June, so 2 1/2 weeks.

Now, do them in alphabetical order of the state! A whole new adventure.

Very impressive! As for Orest's suggestion, I think you may have to submit to a fuel stop on the Georgia to Hawaii leg......3814nm KATL direct PHTO, and not a tailwind in sight.....

Latin alphabet.

OK, here is the US spreadsheet, once downloaded you can sort it any way you wish. Most of the data copied for the kind contribution above.

 

I have included CONUS only, and have not populated lat/long and distances, perhaps someone else can do that. Where the actual capital does not have a civilian airport, the closest major airport is listed in the Other column, but the actual Capital is still listed.

THEN, select File | download.

 

As I go along, will be putting in the flightplans.
