Anybody care to work up a theoretical w&b on this?


Ok. With 30 gallons of fuel, 310 pounds in the front seats, 240 pounds in the
back, and 120 in the luggage compartment, a 1980 Cessna 172 with a decent radio
stack is under max gross and within the envelope. Since most of the Chinese men
I've known weigh around 140 pounds and most of the women tilt the scales below
120, it's certainly doable.

Did the AP article say if they were all adults?
