This weekend I flew up to visit my mother, went up yesterday and back today. The wind gods have a real sense of humor, for I had a 32mph headwind component. If I had been flying along a highway, the faster cars would have been passing me. On the flight home today, there was not much wind, so I was clanking along at about 115mph over the ground, according to the Battery Sucking GPS. Close to a half-hour difference in flight time for the two legs of the trip.
Care to guess at which airport the aviation gasoline was close to a dollar a gallon higher?
(Yep, the one where I was in the air longer and burned 4 gallons more.)
