[Foobar]

Whats the biggest fuel bill you've seen?

Biggest fuel bill I've had personally was $2,560.00 at Jim's Air in San Diego when we fueled up the C560.

Biggest fuel bill I've seen that wasn't for me was at Signature Nashville for a private Boeing 737-200; dont remember the exact figure but it was about $6700 dollars!

I've had somewhere north of $12,500 USD when fueling up the Falcon 900EX in Germany for a non-stop flight home. Fuel is very expensive in Germany, tons of taxes.

It cost $800 to top off our Cessna 210 in Narsarsauq Greenland. Gas was about $8 bucks a gallon in 1991....I have no idea what it's risen to by now.

Last week at San Diego jet Center. We loaded 610 gals and it was 2600.00. Not to say they are higher than anyone else. All we did was dead head back to Houston. Seems like everytime at Signature in IAD, with fuel and catering it is around 3k.

Biggest I have seen was while I was working at Million Air in Tulsa. (now it's Mercury) We occasionally had a Antonav come in to pick crap up and head back to Russia. Took us 8 hours and two fuel trucks at once to fuel that turd. Total bill? 43 thousand and change. Wierd thing is, they paid cash.....They also bought 12,000 worth of crap (paid cash too) at Wal-Mart to take back with them.

Items such as Toilet Paper, blue jeans, Little Debbies, tons of medicine, Hallmark Cards, 4 TV's, VCR's, DVD's, Tapes, 3 nintendo sets, socks, underwear, 19 cases of Pepsi and Coke, 3 recliners from the furniture section, about 30 pairs of shoes, 1 Lawnmower etc etc etc

Took me 7 trips to bring all the stuff back to the airplane and a truck to pick up the lawnmower they bought. LOL

That was a fun day.

Catering bill was also in the Thousand dollar range. (Cash as well)

All that cash - were they carrying guns or have any armed guard types with them?

They did have a security service that followed them everywhere. They had this huge safe in the airplane that was guarded 24 hours. Only the PIC and the Cargo Load Master had the combination. Of the 20 of them, maybe 3 spoke English and it wasen't very good English.
