He’s still up there. I didn’t know they carried that much fuel.

Thanks, and good afternoon.

...2.5 hours flight time with a reserve for getting back.
A family friend flew for MediVac for a whole.
Later he flew corporate jets for Sears. I don't know what happened to him after those executives drove the company into a ditch.
We went over Lake Michigan with him once. That thing was faster than I thought it was going to be.. We were flying 130 something mph, and that was about 40 years ago! Makes sense, I guess, as they are emergency vehicles.
