Dauphin-bound
This afternoon, if the weather stays nice like it is now, Ali and I will be renting a plane from CFC and flying out to Dauphin for the Thanksgiving Weekend. We’re also bringing Ali’s cousin AJ along since he’s from Dauphin and because we’re heading to a farm, we’re bringing our dog along too. That leaves us with roughly 350 pounds of usable load for fuel and luggage. I won’t know how much fuel we’ll be taking until I weigh AJ’s luggage but I’m shooting for 220 pounds. That translates to 36 gallons of fuel, which will give us enough to get to Saskatoon with a conservative reserve. At Saskatoon, we’ll fuel up again and continue on to Dauphin, landing at CYDN after dark.
