I think its 3.75 a gallon right now… and i would guess they would put about 1000lbs of fuel in the plane… so…
its less than 500 bucks
AWESOME THAT’S!
Wow. Just, ugh. wow.
PS, that’s an L39 Albatross, not F39. It’s a Ukrainian two-place trainer. Bob Lutz owns one :tup:
Absolutely amazing, one of my lifelong dreams. So jealous. I expect a more detailed description next time I see you.

close to $100/minute
The best way i can describe the way i felt just before take off was very similar to sitting on the “Big Shot” amusment ride on the top of the Strastophere in Vegas. Nervous/Anxious as all shit.

Jet juel is $5/gallon. 2.5 Gallons per minute cruising. In the 40minutes total we flew… we went through 185 gallons of fuel.
I heard about your adventure at “O” on Saturday…we were worried you didn’t make it back 
Glad you got the opportunity!!! It looks like an amazing time.

At how many G’s do civilians usually black out?

with out a G suit you can black out at like 3 G’s
how many Gspots do civilians usually have?
If I had that opportunity I would most likely have been thrown out at a few hundred feet for quoting Top Gun non-stop. Thats awesome!
wow, very cool! :tup:
i think the important thing about blacking out in regards to G’s is sustained vs momentary. a G you pull in a roll that lasts maybe 2 seconds can be greater than what you would have to account for if you sustaining a certain amount of g’s during a 10 second bank turn.
just a guess
