This is a follow-up to my I-90 coast-to-coast route from almost a year ago. This route is about 80 miles south of I-90 in the country's heartland, so it will still offer views you won't see in the I-90 route if you did that. It's meant to be followed VFR, and the two file options are mentioned below. There's also a link to the route in SkyVector.

Flying east from the Oregon coast (Newport; KONP) to Logan International (Boston; KBOS) above the 3,365 mile / 5,415 km-long U.S. Route 20, the longest road in the country. Due to airport locations, this route by air is 3,121 miles / 5,021 km (2,712 nm). The route stops in or flies over twelve states: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts.

The leg safe altitudes range from 7,500 feet in the beginning stages, climbing to 11,500 feet for the second quarter. Around the middle of the route, it lowers back down to 7,500 feet, then decreases to 3,000 feet from around KLCG in Nebraska. I've attached the elevation profile from Little Navmap.

I have default scenery for every airport except Yellowstone Airport (KWYS, available for free here), which, given my collection, likely means there is only default scenery for these airports.

I’ve included the flight plan in both MSFS (.pln) and Little Navmap (.lnmpln) formats. To view it on SkyVector, click here.
