Tulsa International to Mahlon Sweet Field TUL → EUG
1,333 nautical miles (1,534 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 299°, about 296° magnetic at the departure end (variation 3E). At 120 knots that is 11 h 29 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 4-knot headwind), arriving about 8:19 pm PDT (03:19 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now TUL is VFR, wind from the south (190°) at 17 knots, gusting to 25; EUG is VFR, wind from the south (180°) at 5 knots. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 2 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 10 forecast points nearest it (TUL, ICT, GCK, GLD, DEN, RKS, SLC, PIH, BOI, RDM). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 18:00 UTC for use 14:00 to 21:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
