'Consider yourself the Captain of an airliner on a flight from Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington. The object of the game is to pilot your aircraft along the airways, crossing over the cities of your choice, in route to the destination airport and be the first to complete the flight.''This game is designed to be a realistic experience for the player, as many of the game rules are based on actual federal air regulations.''Pilot-players pit themselves against each other and other flying odds as they strive to stay in the lead. Each pilot must be careful of thunderstorms which can unexpectedly cross their paths, just as in a real flight. Each pilot might also hit strong headwinds, severe icing or even clear air turbulence, as they fly across the country.' - BoardGameGeek
