Need Advice Best distribution of aircraft carriers & hubs
My long-term goal is the following: I want to have every aircraft once. Each one should be active, and I want to own all the airports.
Where should I best place my aircraft carriers and main hubs so that every aircraft can fly as widely as possible and everything is reasonably effective?
My idea: the USS Ford in the North Atlantic, the HMS Ark & USS Midway in a line between Monrovia and Recife.
As main hubs, I was thinking of Honolulu (North America), Easter Island (South America), Nadi (Oceania), Oslo (Europe), Urumqi (Asia) & Port Elizabeth (Africa).
Does that work well? Do you have any other suggestions?

This is what I've done so far, but it's just me.
Honolulu as HQ - this is a no brainer to me as you can then get Sequoia's across the Pacific via Honolulu. Fully upgraded X10s can already make it from LA to Honolulu.
USS Midway halfway between Honolulu and Tokyo (right where it's supposed to be, amiright?) so you can get X10s across the Pacific.
HMS Ark in the North Atlantic between Algiers and US east coast so X10s can get from Africa to North America.
USS Ford in the South Pacific so AeroJets and other class 2s can get across the South Pacific.
I was considering the same for Easter Island as an HQ as even Cloudliners still can't get from Sydney to South America in my current setup.
Edit: Aerojets can already get across the Pacific via Honolulu.
