What looked like a simple coast-to-coast jaunt quickly turned into a marathon of delays, cancellations, and tiny planes. Travel vlogger Noel Phillips set out to cross the entire country using only America’s government-subsidised Essential Air Service routes, but the system’s quirks and downfalls hit hard the moment he left Los Angeles. While these little routes are essential, as their name suggests, there are clearly some problems that need ironing out. The Essential Air Service causes chaos for this adventurer The Essential Air Service is a federal program designed to keep remote towns connected by subsidising airlines to operate routes that would otherwise disappear. These flights often use tiny little airplanes, serve just a small number of passengers, and link small communities to major hubs. A wall of fog at LAX immediately delayed his first flight by three hours because the small Pilatus PC-12 on the route couldn’t operate in zero visibility.

Middle of nowhere little place, but with decently generous runways. It's like 9 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. Lotsa farming out that way.
