Traveling the U.S. in general aviation aircraft is an absolute joy, in part because the nation’s vast network of small municipal , state, and regional airports offers easy access to interesting, out-of-the-way places we would be unlikely to reach by any other means.
There also are plenty of popular, bustling , must-see cities that airlines serve regularly. But it would be a lot more fun to visit them in your own airplane on your own schedule, right? I know that approaching certain high-traffic destinations such as Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles might feel challenging or even forbidding , especially for VFR pilots not accustomed to speaking with controllers and navigating busy airspace full of commercial jets.
