I see a couple of guys are driving and it looks like the weather will be good enough to fly. If anyone on my route or at least close to it - mostly due north from New Orleans - is not going because they don't have a ride, call me. Unless the weather changes, I'm flying. See you Thursday. Ray_pilot

Agree with Larry. If I end up with a fuel sensor when I finally get all my instruments, so be it. if not, I'm not worried. I always fly by time. I plan and book the maximum burn in my Sundowner at 10 gallons per hour. Leaned out at altitude, I can get it just under 8. That not only covers my p
