Default $100 hamburger radius

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 within 150 nm.

Assuming there is an McD next to each and every airport, out selection
will be limited by how many airports there are within 150 nm of home.
There are quite a few in New England, but what about the mid west? Jay?
