Steve,
It is amazing how much difference small
changes in the parameters make in planning a flight. I am guessing you
used a max leg range of 450 miles when you did the planning and Airnav gave you
this route. If you had used a range of only 455 miles, it would have sent
you to K50 and you would have only had one stop and Mogas would have been $2.87.
Was Mogas available on both ends of the trip? You would have been low on
arrival on both ends.
