Question A wee brain teaser

A friend of mine is doing a BSc Hons in Mechatronics and got given the following problem in one of his papers.

Q. Find the shortest flight path (taking into account turn radius) of a fully laden 747, travelling at max speed, which passes directly o/h Glasgow, Dundee & Edinburgh. And for extra bonus points name 3 other places over which the jet would pass.

Pondering over this killed a while at work for me, would be interested to see what other folk come up with. Bit of a bizarre question for mechatronics eh??

I look forward to some replies...
