Getting started planning a route from Sountern Nova Scotia all the way down the eastern seaboard to Lakeland Fl.
I'm planning to clear customs in Portland Me. and fuel up. Since it's our first long trip I'm thinking not pushing our legs. From Portland to St Mary's County regional MD (2W6), is just under 430 nm direct. So with deviations around busy areas I'm thinking it would be around a three hr. leg. St Mary's is where we did our transition training last June with Joe Czachorowski, nice little airport. Thinking of lunch there, although I don't think they have a facility on site, perhaps someone could point out a nearby airport with av gas and a restaurant?
From 2W6 I'm debating direct to Lakelinder? There will be three pilots on board so each will have a fresh pilot, albeit none of us have great experience on cross country flying. We done reginal cross countries and some of us have been in the back seat going to Sun n Fun and Oshkosk years gone by.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Ron
