Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.

Nice scenery.
Fuel stop at Stornoway: $13++ /gal. http://www.thehangar.co.uk/fuel/fuel.shtml What are we whining about?? It would take $1134 and change to fill the Maule's dry tanks there. That would temper my enthusiasm.
Glad I'm not on my way thru Riyadh though: around $28/gal there!!! I'm not even going to calculate the cost of a fillup.

yeah, that's what happens when they get rich enough to sell their Navajo's and buy 727's. If you want avgas you have to call a month ahead and get it trucked from Dubai.

Good to see a couple of "hams" combine their hobbies.
