PIREP Christian: Food-3 Unalakleet.

Hi Sandy.

I delivered 382 bags of dog food to Unalakleet. And now I have a
problem: I do not have enough fuel for the flight back to Anchorage. I
hope we have enough fuel in the fuel farm at Unalakleet. I have
refuelled about 9500 lbs. from there. If we need the fuel back to UNK
I will install a bulk tank in my C-130 and deliver it back.
I was mislead during the fuelling by the Center tank. It showed about
74 % of fuel and so I only added few fuel to the rest of the tanks,
not noticing that he Center tank only holds about 670 ponds! Damned
did they fool me!
But in the end everything went alright and the food bags arrived in
good shape at Unalakleet.

Flying time so far 01:25.

Christian
