Decision time: I have a choice of a 2.5 hr leg and a 1.5 hr leg,
refuelling in Saginaw MI, or a 3.0 hr leg and a 1.0 hr leg, refuelling in
Muskegeon MI.
Advantages of Muskegeon:
- might be easier to hit my arrival window after only a 1 hour flight
than a 1.5 hour flight
- arrive with more fuel in case they make me cancel IFR and join the herd
doing RIPON-FISK VFR arrivals
Advantages of Saginaw:
- Free hotdogs
- I'll already be at cruise altitude before going feet wet over Lake
Michigan
What do you think?
