$100 hamburger radius by Stubby
2 McD selections at $4 each plus 2 "drinks" at $1 each leaves $90 for the airplane. Assume it is all gas at $3/gal. So that is 30 gal or 15 gal out and 15 back. At 10 gph, we have to get the hamburgers within a 1.5 hr radius. With lots of assumptions, mostly 100 kts, we must get the burgers...
