'73 non-turbo 337 performance

[Rick Gardner]

Thanks Ernie, this is very helpful.

Actually, I am from Nassau, Bahamas myself so you are in my old stomping grounds. I will be over that way visiting family during the first week of February after our escorted Mayan Adventure trip in Mexico is over. Will you still be around?

The ferry flight will be from Costa Rica back to the USA. I am debating whether to stop in Honduras or Belize to take on more fuel or make the trip direct to Cozumel and refuel there for the flight up to Florida. Your numbers sound realistic. My first leg is 690 NM which would be around 5 hours with no wind plus take off fuel which would leave me close to an hour in the tanks which is where I like to be. (125 gal tanks). Of course, winds could change all of this.
