What is the distance from Magnolia to Meridian via V18?

When flying via airways, the leg distance is the published mileage shown on the enroute chart between the fixes that define the airway. For Magnolia to Meridian on V18, the published mileage along that airway between those two points is 70 miles. That is the distance you’d use for planning, fuel, and time en route, because it reflects the actual airway segment length, not the straight-line distance on the map. The other numbers would not match the charted airway mileage, so they don’t apply to this leg.
