Just about anyplace from Cheyenne, WY to ABQ, NM. No problems. Keep
the mountains on the west side.

I do much the same thing. Fly north, ocean on right (starboard . Fly
south, ocean on left.

The three most visible things when flying around southeastern New
Hampshire a Boston, Mount Washington, and the concrete runways of
the former Pease Air Force Base.

I had along distance relationship in which I flew the 200 miles edach
way from Springfield, MO to Alton, IL at least every other weekend for
10 months. It got real familiar.

What route do you fly most often or feel most comfortable with? How
far could you wander from your home base without needing a map or even
a compass to find all the cities and airports?

My entire nation.

It's only 30nm long by about 14nm wide, so it's hardly difficult :-)

I bet there's not a lot of hangar talk about how fast you can fly!

How many airports are there in the nation? How many pilots? Airplanes?

Four airports (one public use, three private): Ronaldsway (where the
airlines go), Jurby, Mount Rule and Andreas (where the glider club is).
The flying club probably has on the order of 50 members. The glider club
has 18. There is also an active hang-gliding/paragliding club which
flies most days in the summer. At Ronaldsway, there is a British Airways
maintenance facility plus probably ~30 GA aircraft (including one or two
unusual types). The glider club currently has 5 servicable gliders plus
a tow-plane (a 1945 Auster 5J1 which has been re-engined with a 160hp
Lyc O-320).

There is an annual airshow (which last year had TWO P-51 Mustangs which
aren't really a common sight here), plus the Schneider Cup air races,
and we're trying to get an annual Reno-style pylon racing event going...

Since when has it been a nation? Doesn't it have much the
same obscure protectorate status as the Channel Islands?
Is it part of the EU?

The Isle of Man is neither part of the UK nor part of the EU. It has its
own laws, its own parliament (the longest running democratic parliament
in the world, and the first one to allow women sufferage), its own civil
service, health and immigration policies, vehicle registry and ship
registry (plus talk of an aircraft registry coming some time in the
mysterious future). I travel on an Isle of Man passport, not a UK one.

It's not quite a sovereign state (yes, an obscure crown dependency) but
it's much more of a nation than, say, Scotland. Try telling a Scottish
person that Scotland isn't a nation!

Durham NC to Lake Norman NC - only 108 miles.

From my glider days I could still fly Blairstown NJ to Cumberland MD as the
hawks fly. No map or compass required once you get to know the ridges
(Kittatinny ridge, Delaware Water Gap, Hawk Mountain, jump up to the perfect
Mahatango ridge , over the Susquehanna and jump to the Tusquawarra(sp)
ridge, jump someplace before Burnt Cabins up to the 'main ridge', Altoona
gap, ___ gap, Cumberland, then return. Never made the entire flight without
stopping but know it all, something like Twain's Missippi river boat
captains.
