Remember, when comparing approach speeds, make sure each aircraft is
indicating an accurate air speed. If the pitot system/ASI has not been
calibrated, it will not show an accurate and actual air speed for
comparison.

The price of fuel at Dunnellon Airport X-35 is priced less than the other airports
in this area. Its about 70 miles north of Lakeland. Its an uncontroled field,
good runways, 122.8 CTAF. Home of the Florida Davision of the Yankee Airforce.

We checked the -4 closely with GPS averages.  It was very close up to about 140
indicated, and read slow above that.
