It may be showing incorrect results, but the Google Earth product's measuring tool shows the distance from Adak, Ak to Midway Atoll at about 1800 nm. The only other route (not all the intermediate steps worked out!) seems to be: Aleution island chain - Yokohama, Japan - due south to Saipan via another chain of islands - Palikir Island via some other possible smaller island stops - Wake Island - Midway Atoll. The Wake/Midway leg appears to be about 1200 sm or ~1040 nm. A lat/long calculation showed 1421nm, but it is still a long way. I think my longest solo/single engine leg was around 2100nm. At least coming from the West your odds of a tailwind are improved. Al G |
