On a long cross Country flight to Chicago, the goal was to do the long segment on the first flight and leave the shorter leg for the second flight. That first segment was planned for Bowling Green, IN, 711 NM away, but with the routing, stronger headwinds than predicted and weather approaching sooner than expected, things had to change... a LOT...
