I was going to fly Kingman to Colorado Springs then on to Chicago, but Joe has created some ferry routes
First leg is Kingman to Phoenix

Leg 2 : Phoenix to O'Hare Quite a direct IFR route of 1300nm Thought I had been a bit light with the fuel planning, but landed with 800 kgs on board

Hi Simon
As there are no training routes out of Kingman, I gave myself full rating to make the flights available. Once in London, I will revert my rating to Tr and complete the obligatory 4 flights. Happy to do the same for you, if you wish.
