My foot is fine, and that is about the dumbest answer I've seen in this ng in a
while. Not only that, but if you'd give me 6% of all the avgas sold in this
country for business, I'd be on a beach in Hawaii inside of a year.

More to the point, and using your example...it shows your ignorance of the
situation immediately when you use Los Angeles and Boston as your airports, but
just for grins let's go along with it.

The question is NOT "how few", but how many. Do your airnav search again, but
use the page the way it was intended, not for ALL the airports in the country,
but how many of them on your route with a maximum deviation of 50 miles.

Comes up 120 or 125 airports along the route, depending on whether you use FAA
or AIRNAV figures.

Now you can massage those number six ways from Sunday, but let's presume that
they are somewhat equally spaced across the country. Yes, I know that a large
percentage of them are east of the Rockies, but let's just diddle the math.

2263 miles with 120 airports along the way gives an average distance between
airports of 19 miles. If you can't plan your gas stops better than 19 miles
apart, you need a little more instruction.

Yes, going to Oshkosh, it is difficult to get to Morgan County UT, then Alliance
NB for autogas, but once in Nebraska, there are simply dozens of choices between
there and Wisconsin, and even more as you proceed eastbound.
