You can legally do that VFR, but probably not IFR. It looks like you would
be passing through several Warning areas and possibly some restricted areas.
If the warning areas are cold, and they have been turned back over to
center, they will let you transit IFR. The areas are usually hot except
late at night and weekends, depending on military activity. Those warning
areas can be particularly busy during military exercises and are frequently
used for live fire of guns and missiles.

If you go VFR, make sure you file the appropriate flight plans or you might
find a fighter escort that was scrabled to figure out who you were. You can
be billed for the fighters' flight time if you have not followed the rules
on ADIZ penetrations.

I assume you are referring to V3. V3 is 5 miles max from the shoreline
between SSI and PBI. from 7 or 8k up, that is a 5:1 glide. I fly that
route in my Maule if winds are acceptable.

I think the original poster may have been thinking V437. I don't do that
one.


Actually I was thinking more direct from RDU to TIX which takes you well
east of V437.
