Thank you very much for the informative responses. I am aware of all the "intangible" considerations and really appreciate the comments regarding logistics.
If it wasn't for fuel & customs concerns, the longest leg airport to airport is as short as 318nm, shorter beach to beach.
The next two longest are 254nm and 188nm.
The no reserve best range of the aircraft is 480nm although I take the manufacturers numbers for just that, numbers.
Just trying to get the all facts to make a decision.
Thanks.
