dang thats a heck of alot of flying. What sort of range does the van have ??? Just wondereing where they are gonna pull up for juice.

332 US Gallons...figure a gallon a minute for rough estimate. To get 160 kts tas, I usually see roughly 330 Lbs per hour on the fuel flow gauge.

They must have an STC'd fuel bladder installed. How big or what it looks like, I don't know.

Ha...I spent 6 months in Eniwetok back in the late 70's bra, I know what you mean. It was a dude fest from hell, but at least they had sharks.

Not that it's much of a marvel in the GPS age, but here's what they got to look forward to when they land...

Not to mention some of the best wreck diving on the planet. Been planning that trip for some time now....one day I'll be able to afford the $10k price tag

Or build it into the flight...I ferried a plane from SAV to Teterborro and the owner was cool with me and the wife spending a few days in RIC with family.

Are you thinking of Majuro, or Bikini Atoll? I'd rather go to Bikini for the diving. Majuro is a stopping point....that's where the flights to Bikini launch out of.

I was thinking Bikini, but anything in the Marshall Islands is ok by me.
What are they flying these days from Majuro to Bikini?
