A little jaunt from island to island across the Torres Strait between Australia and Papua New Guinea. Eleven takeoffs and, hopefully, eleven landings. The trip is 295 nautical miles; the shortest strip (pictured) is 1,530 feet. Full-stop landings at each strip are preferred, but for those of a nervous disposition a touch and go will do. Choose your aircraft accordingly.

🛫 About Tonight’s Flight
The national capital is home to the Commanders, but this is a recent name. The team was founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves, changing its name to the Redskins the following year before moving to Washington, D.C., in 1937. The Redskins branding was seen as pejorative by many for decades. In 2020, pressure led to the name being retired before rebranding as the Commanders in 2022

🛫 About Tonight’s Flight
For this week’s American Monday Flight, we’re heading out of Detroit Metropolitan Airport bound first for Philadelphia, one of the most historic cities in the United States and home to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

After a quick turnaround, we’ll continue on to New York LaGuardia, one of the busiest and most iconic airports serving New York City, flying right past the Manhattan skyline on arrival.

Short hops, busy airspace, and plenty of traffic expected — perfect conditions for some great flying on the network.

Bush strips and mountains: what could be more fun?! This is a little hop across western Montana and eastern Idaho, taking in some of the smaller airstrips in the region. Your options at each field are: an overflight, a touch and go or, for the most daring, a full-stop landing and takeoff. (It's a good idea, before committing to a full-stop landing, to be sure you can get out again.

Note that depending on your simulator and scenery, there may be one or two strips unavailable to you. Also, the tracks connecting the airfields are not necessarily the quickest/safest routes between them.
