Interesting idea! It flight plans out at about 4.5 hours from Phoenix, overflying the Grand Canyon, Bryce
Canyon and Salt Lake. One stop somewhere south of SLC would be a nice trip. I haven't been there
since we took the kids up there about 15 years ago. Let's work on this!


4.5 hrs. from Phoenix? You must be flying something fast. I fly up
there at least once a year and average about 6.5 hrs. in the air.
Spanish Fork, UT (U77, south of Provo) is an excellent fuel stop. Just
beyond the halfway point, not crowded and self-serve fuel.

Yep, our old bird moves pretty well. I did a rough flight plan at 145KT, but it would be a bit longer with a
stop. Thanks for the tip on a stop. I was just looking at the map and picked out Delta (DTA), but have
never been this direction, so all advice is welcome.
