Max consumption is around 7.5 - 8 gallons per hour. You will probably cruise at a reduced power setting for noise and comfort, you can figure 5 gph at cruise. You will probably do a little better than that at 5800 RPM, or about 60-65 ias.

Hopefully he's now cooked his own goose, and maybe this will end his political career. I consider this to be a criminal act, and he should be prosecuted. I'm surprised at the negativity on the one report...................surely the field can be re-paved and re-opened.

I wonder if any Kolbs ever flew into, out of of Meigs? He did what he did in the best Clinton tradition, malevolent, contemptous, and malicious. I guess he figured that while the country is distracted in a war in a far away place, he can freely prosecute his own act of terrorism against american aviation. I wonder if that incompetant organization called the FAA will do anything about that. I expect no more than the usual hand wringing, and empty words from those constricting bafoons. ======================== > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" > > Daley has been after Meigs for years.
