Yes it is Fun fact from Bangor Maine to San Diego 2344nm or from Boeing Field to Key West is 2367nm I can carry 600 lbs 800nm against a 95kt headwind So in an Eclipse in the continental US you’re never going to make more than 2 stops wherever you go.

I landed with 300Lbs as you can see in the picture. That's almost an hour of fuel
I was 257TAS because I had 6 on board, bags, 12 cases of wine and full fuel and it was hot.

Just a long day. I did KJAC - KPWA - KDAY - KBED a couple weeks ago in about the same time and I was pretty tired. It's impressive how these airplanes can move around the country.
