"Area" of Flight

[211º]

I recently was able to make (what I would call) a round-robin flight. It was a flight where instead of going there-and-back, I went there-then there2 - then over there - and then back flight (over several days). The kind of flights that when complete makes a shape that then has an area (that can be measured/calculated) inside of it.

Over at https://ladieslovetaildraggers.com/10-things-i-learned-flying-indianas-perimeter-a-k-a-my-chronavirus-escape-day/ the author wrote about flying around Indiana's border (and she has also flown around the US's perimeter).

All of this got me thinking - what is the largest area of flights that we've made where we've made a large round robin trek that could "gather", "harvest", or "calculate" a large area of land?

I think that my current record is this last one KLUK KLIT KTCL KUNI KLUK.

I could calculate this area with some engineering tools that I have, but for now here is a screen shot of the area/route and food for thought.

I have conceptualized a flight circumnavigating the entire US. Still on the bucket list.

This was my round robin a few weeks ago. During the flight DJB was the only fix I crossed twice. I had to divert south of EON for weather coming home. Longest leg was 8.2 hours with stock tanks in a J.

I think this is my largest area encompassing flight.

Alan, if you do this, you will fly over my house. You will have to stop here, get fed, rested all on my watch.
