About this time next year I'll be flying an amphibious airplane from Orlando to Sacramento. I'll allow 7 days for the journey as it will be all VFR flying at 100 mph with 350 mile legs (or less) between fuel stops. I'm thinking a southern route will be best for weather and mountain passage but a more northern route might be more scenic. I'd like to see some cool sites along the way but don't want to push safety and I want it to take only 4 days with ideal weather (allowing 3 days for sitting out bad weather). I welcome any and all thoughts and ideas as I've never embarked on such a journey.
