m20r / fll-f12 / gulf route 26 / 11-dec-00

Ft. Lauderdale to Henderson in 6+13. Landed with 24 gallons (2 hours) of fuel remaining, despite 50kt quartering headwinds. (65%, 50 lean, 8000' & 10000')

Very capable little airplane.

The last photo shows four oil rigs interconnected with two heliports, etc. Looks small from 2 miles up but it was actually a pretty big installation, way out in the Gulf.
