Welcome Tyler! I can remember a squadron mate who tried to chase a Bone in a Viper. I believe the term "out of gas and ideas" came up  Sounds like your mission will be well served by a -35 variant. I obviously love bonanzas but you might also consider an RV -6/7/8 if two seats will do. That will give you a solid 180KTAS cross country machine which is also aerobatic and not under the restrictions of a certified plane. Tough to beat the utility and solid ride of a Bonanza though. Scott

13 gallons per second if I did my math right. I don't think I could even afford fuel pump capable of that.

320,000 / 7 = 45,714.3 GPH = 761.9 GPM = 12.7 GPS
So yah, 13 GPS is close enough for government work. Well at least BT work.
