Westbound Transatlantic Citation

Just been asked to take a Citation 2 non-RVSM to Texas fairly soon.
I'll be routing via Goose but not familiar with "GA friendly airfields" along and down the East Coast (know the route to and from Wichita backwards!!). Anyone done it recently?
Assume max sector legnth of 800Nm please PM me if you've any advice.
Thanks guys...

Camb.

goose, gander, sept Iles, Bangor.

what time of year......makes a big difference...also frob bay (or the PC version). They are all GA friendly, if only the HWC and WX was a sfriendly. Use REK rather than KEF. More info if needed....

I was contacted to bring a Ultra back to the states. the owner had to use a US crew because he couldn't get crew visas in time.
