Apparently, if you file IFR HPN - MMU, you get a clearance which starts
"CMK CMK275R SAX039R SAX" (i.e. fly outbound on the CMK 275 until you
intercept the SAX 039, then fly that inbound to SAX).

Interesting. I flew from BVY to CDW this past Monday. My clearance ended

... CMK V? SAX Direct

As I was approaching the CMK VOR, I was told to depart on the 275 radial.
When I acknowledged that, I was told: "Oh, let's make this easy" and was
told to follow the airway to SAX (I forget which V that was at the moment).

The difference between the airway and the 275R is pretty slight. Extra room
for EWR or TEB departures (the wind was from the northeast)? Something
else?

Either way, I appreciated sticking with the airway. It saved me from having
to find the CDI button on the 430 grin.
