Northernmost AND Westernmost:
Manley Hot Springs, AK; Lat/Long: 64-59-51.2330N / 150-38-38.8670W
Southernmost:
Lakeland Linder, FL; Lat/Long: 27-59-20.1000N / 082-01-06.8000W
Easternmost:
Delaware Airpark, Dover, DE; Lat/Long: 39-13-06.0100N / 075-35-47.9540W (remember this one, Ron?)
All of the above were me operating '98C, and all part of trips to 170 Conventions.
As a student pilot I went into Sarasota, FL in a C-150, and '98C has a flight to Havana, Cuba in 1955 in her logbooks.

Oh, yeah.
Well, then...I've been to Brownsville, TX, birthplace of Kris Kristoferson... Boston, MA birthplace of America, ... (do any of the Carribean islands count?)... Nanaimo, and Goose BAy, Newfoundland!(which probably serves as my most Eastern AND Northern in this continent, unless you consider the Caribbean.
(I'll wager Richard Pulley has got a good shot at being the winner of this quest.)

Don't sell yourself short, George, I'd still consider Acapulco in North America.

North: Nome Alaska, 2nd Place was Galena Alaska
West: Nome Alaska, 2nd Place was Galena Alaska
South: Key West Florida, 2nd place was McAllen Texas
East: Oceana NAS Virginia (I'm not very good at East), Interesting to note the Key West is almost further east than Oceana.
Oh by the way, my pickup as been at the end of the road in Alaska and the end of the road in Florida.

North and West -- Anchorage, AK
South -- Panama City, Panama
East -- St. John's, NF (in a SEL to Yaounde', Cameroon)
Now how about the same question with the qualifier of "in a C-170"?
For myself it would be:
North -- Redlands, CA
South -- Redlands, CA
East -- Redlands, CA
West -- Redlands, CA

Gary,
Maybe I can meet you at Flabob sometime so you can expand your horizons to the south and west.

I've been there in an L-19. Does that count for half the distance?

That is a cool place to visit.
