What I did on my summer vacation

Shrug Dunno. As I said, I'm astonished at what can change in a year.

I used to fly an Arrow that had 92 gallon tanks. Not many people could
spend that much time without needing to use the bathroom!

Which is why leaving fuel behind for more load is usually no great cost.
The real issue (at least for me) is trusting what's in the tanks.

Ah, that is strange. They must have found some room inside the wing to make
the bladders a little bigger. 88 useable, is that about 92 total? That
would be 6 gallons more per side, not just "a little" bit bigger! Lucky
you!

Good flights!

I like the way you do vacations!!!

My wife has been telling me that at some point she would really like me to
see Colorado (I've never been there and I've always loved the mountains;
backpacking/camping). I had suggested to her (and she didn't even glare at
me grin) that maybe we could go there for a couple of weeks and I could
take advantage of the situation and take a mountain flying course in
Colorado from a reputable FBO.
