The US-50 tour wraps up with Leg 9 as we make a harrowing soft and short-field departure from Romney, WV (WV06) and immediately begin to discover how the geography of the Appalachians played into several key Civil War battles. The strategic importance of this geography becomes more apparent as we enter Washington DC. There, we put eyes on the famous landmarks of the Capitol Mall before we cross the Chesapeake Bay and enter the Tidewater of the Delmarva peninsula and onward to the destination, the end of US 50 at Ocean City, Maryland (KOXB).
Here is the simplified flight plan. Note that it mostly outlines the primary course, but may not include any of our “detours” and the intermediate airports do not necessarily reflect the airports we visit. The highway is the guide!
