Distance from McComb to Magnolia via V9?

When navigating on airways, the distance you fly is the published mileage between the navigation aids (or fixes) that define that leg. The V9 airway is charted with leg mileages between its fixes, and the distance from McComb to Magnolia along V9 is the published segment mileage for that route. For McComb to Magnolia via V9, the leg mileage is 72 miles. This reflects the actual path you’d fly along the airway, not the straight-line distance between the two towns. To verify, look on the IFR enroute chart for the V9 segment between the McComb and Magnolia fixes and read the mileage printed along that segment. The other numbers don’t match that published leg distance.
