I'm trying to build x-country time for my instrument rating and I am
looking for suggestions of interesting airports/places to visit. I'm
based at Ft. Smith, AR and wondering if anyone has any particular
suggestions. Looking for things in 250, maybe 300 NM if it's really
interesting, things I can get to in a skyhawk in a day lol.

Thanks,
Matt

Consider Beaty Nevada.

While there is no published instrument approach, there are other
attractions.

Make arrangements in advance for fuel to be at the airport for your
return trip.
