When you use the [G]o move option with a plane, you don't get a line
like you do with ground units, telling you how far the distance is.
Knowing this is even more critical for planes because if you are off in
the distance calculation, the plane is going to die.
So maybe a bug, maybe a feature request, I'm not sure which.
Well, it's not a bug. The goto is specifically chosen so that the plane
will never die in route.
If I'm not mistaken, this is done in a way, that the plane is always in a
city, airbase, or on a carrier, at the end of turn. For bombers, which are
able to 'live' one turn outside of cities, the resulting route is far from
optimal.
