We South westerners can do a 5 state flight. That would starting at

They used to have organized safaris to Dalhart just for that purpose.


Depending on where you start in Europe, you can easily cover several countries. Flights from the NW part of Germany covering The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Luxemburg are not uncommon. In the southern part of Germany, flights across Austria into Italy and back are possible.
There were even flights from Europe across the Mediterranean Sea to northern Africa.
Would crossing international borders or even inter-continental flights earn any bonus points?
