Well I dont claim to be a NY filing guru but I did ask essentially the same
question last week. I was flying to Danbury CT from Charlotte NC. I wound up
calling Washington Center and asked what routing I should expect. I planned
a fuel stop in Salisbury MD. The routing they said I could expect was V1
Dixie V276 Robbinsville V249 Sparta V39 Brezy direct DXR. That in fact is
exactly what I got. If you want to call them the number is 703-771-3475.
