Where would you land if your plane was flying 63360000 miles from baton rouge toward california?
What town and place even?|||The world is only about 25,000 miles in diameter at the equator, so that would be at least 2500 times around the world. It's also enough distance that the rotation of the earth would have an effect. Exactly where you would be at the end of the trip would depend on exactly which course you take.|||If you took off at the right time, and in the right equipment, 63,360,000 miles would get you about to Mars, I think. It would be hard to pick a town to land in, out in space.

Seriously, ignoring the distance and assuming you are not asking a question about Mars or space travel...

You would land at an airport! There are thousands big and small in the US, and probably nearly a hundred close enough to the route you have specified to be likely landing spots in the event that you decide not to go all the way to your destination (which I must assume is originally in CA). If however, you were thinking "Where would we land in the event of an emergency?" the number of airports becomes a bit more limited--depending on the nature of the emergency! For example, if you lose engines or catch fire, you want to get your hiney on the ground as fast as you can, so you pick the closest airport and haul tail to it. If you have to, you ditch in the water, or you put it on a road or in a field--this can be tricky, since fields are never flat, and roads have powerlines and cars near and on them.|||Also if you are in Baton Rouge, there are several headings (directions) that would make you fly over California, so even if you just mean 6336 or 633.6 miles, we still can't answer the question.

If you use a great circle mapper and put in 633 miles from BTR (the airport code for Baton Rouge), most of those headings will take you into Texas.|||Impossible, the Earth's circumference is only 24,902 miles. What you are saying here is that you would have to fly around the Earth about 2,534.4 times which would take you awhile. So once you fly around the world 2,534.4 times I don't know where you would end up.
