Sue,
Hmmmmmm, Let's see.
370 x 6 = 2220
3 175 lb passengers + baggage = 600, plus 100 gals = 1200
If Bill weighs 100, that's only 900 lbs of additional load to be
carried - that's more than "a lot" (technical term).
Also, at a quart of Canadian oil every 10 hours, that's a US gallon for the
trip.
Add an immersion suit, truck inner tube as a float, flare gun, 1000 NoDoz
tabs, gallon of water and 20 peanut butter energy bars - why, its just
incredible.
What a "trip" (psycho babble technical term)

All the
tanks hold about 370 gallons and Bill had the fuel flow down to around
7.3
(if the instruments were reading correctly).Definitely below 8 gph,
though. LOP.

This is beyond amazing to me. I figured about 38:38 hrs
and I think he told me it held about 480 gals. So with his planned 34/35 hrs
it must have been close. I kept refiguring the fuel burn at maybe 11/12 gph.
That is just fuel!! How about Oil? How about Ox?
Then it is the one Pilot
no reliever! Wow from now on he is Mr. Bill to me.
Congratulations! All
involved.
