I'm on your side too. But where are all these now closed refuelling facilities? That's not my experience over the last 30 years.
More importantly, Dick. What's on the Thursday lunch sandwich menu?
If you've kept over the years those fuel co leaflets with the refueling points dotted on their maps you'd see what I mean. And next time you're flying an early 172 with 140 lt useable around the outback, plan carefully.
