Last night's cargo

[Johnnybgoode]

Any takers on this load we delivered last night? I'm presently deployed, so the location is not public, but needless to say it was a long way away from my hangar.

2,600+ gallons of 100LL in 55 gallon drums. Sorry it's sideways - one of you smart guys will have to rotate it.

Hey Patrick, let me know when you guys plan to be at my hangar with it all, I'll come unlock it for you

Stay safe, brother. Is that a C-130?

Why is the military transporting 100ll?  I thought everything they flew burned Jet A.

[orionflt]

nope

I know what that is for, Not sure where you dropped it but as a retired Navy flight engineer I know its needed and appreciated.

Keep up the good work and fly safe brother.

Hard to believe I’ll burn through that in a little over 300 hrs.  I really need to bike to work to offset my LL usage.

No fumar in there.

2,600 gallons of 100LL...That's about 130 hours of flying in a Bravo...

Eh, the Saturn V main stage burned 3,000 gallons per second.  

(318,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 203,000 gallons of kerosene.  Tanks dry in 165 seconds.)

yeah but one hell of a flight 

and at 10GPH that is 10TBO's for most of our engines and if we fly 100 hours a year that is 203 years of flying.  Heck we could have started flying with the Wright Brothers and still not be half way through the fuel.

Or You could fly continuously 24/7 for 2.3 years. 

Better have the relief tube installed.
