Maybe 'direct' with a refueling stop somewhere? -- nm - Meg Jan 9, 15:49 3
- Whole lot of gliding. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 15:58 2
  - Bit less gliding as I inadvertently mixed units. Range of 4000 nautical miles, the flight distance in nautical miles is 4223 -- nm - JD Jan 9, 16:00 1
    - no see what you do is fly the polar route so once you crest the pole is just coasting down hill from there, won't need to use much gas at all -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 9, 18:39
