hey Dr ya can't carry as much,go as high, as far or as fast as that twin kero burner. I figure that in oder for you to go the same distance with the same amonut of bums as a B200 for Eg you would burn a hell of a lot more gas than me. How he says? Well you can carry 5 bums right? (excluding you) & a typical B200 in high density seating could carry up to say 14 (little japs). That's nearly 3 times the amount of bums than you can carry. Lets see now you would have to do the same trip as me 3 times, meaning 5 legs. Typical 300 nm trip one way, takes you say 2 hrs roughly. That's 10 hrs flying to get the same amount of bums to this mythical destination @ say 55 LPH= 550ltrs. I do the same trip once & use just over 400 ltrs. That's a lot of gas for you Dr & I'll be on the way home when yr just bringing the last 5 up ! Soz for the drift but if you must fly a SE then ya gunna have to work hard at it Dr

Phew I better go hide b4 the Mods spot me
