One might prefer to stop only at the final destination and clear customs there.
Especially given that there is an EXPECTATION of the arrival of the planes for a performance that is highly promoted.
At another place there could be unforeseen "delays". Non-stop insures that the whole team gets there on schedule.
If it had been a bit farther, a stop probably would have had to have been planned in. As it stood, there was no range issue for the non-stop except on MY plane. Thus, I "stood down".
The other issue is the need to climb to 10-12K or so in the mountainous area. More fuel burn.
We work on being as SAFE as we can in all that we do so we have to consider all aspects.
