My bad, musta been the Beech I was thinking of. Twin Stars still lose.

Hmmm, at 55 mpg, how far could I drive for an hour's worth of US military
flying??? Coupla oil changes/ a few year's worth at any rate.
Am I doing that right? (damned Unibroue fogging my mind...) I get one hour
in a C-5 equals all that I've burned in 7 years of Buggin'. Holy shit. No
matter how I crunch that, it's turning out that way.
3200 USgallons/1.25=appx. 2560 Imperial Gallons 
X55mpg = 140 800 miles 
/ .60=appx.  234 666 kms 
My odo now reads 230 000kms, car's a 1999. Mind you, those conversion
factors are ballparkish at best, but shit! Lobby for peace to save the
planet then. I watched that plane burn enough Jet A to keep me happy for
the year at least! (Or I should lay off the French beer?)
Can that be right????? Even at 30ish mpUSg in a Rocco it'd keep you happy
for a few days (if it was gas). Glad I'm not feeding that bird. Glad the
Maudite was cold.....
