How long would that take you? I planned it out and in the PC-12 it would take right at five hours at 260 kts and 2400 lbs of fuel. I’d need a bathroom break.

Hey, that's a pretty long leg. But I'm going KSQL-KBED tomorrow! One fuel stop eastbound, probably KFSD. Tailwinds decreasing , looks like it'll be about 8 hours in the air.

I’d need a bathroom break. errr, not even close mate..........it would take 4:49 hrs (i'll give you points for that one) but it would only be about 1850lbs of fuel......... that be for the way there..... PC12 has a lav, we use it like the bathroom at an all you can drink beer fest..........'as noted in other posts, we're lav maestro's Now on the way back the bird will take about 2100lbs of fuel to get back...........and about 5.3 hours......... Anthony's bird has stealth mode, much better speed and way better gas mileage........Anthony, if you'd given me more time I woulda joined you. I'm in KAPA tomorrow......
