How would you like ti fill this bird up

[CaymasRodney]

Pretty dang far. The 747 can soar halfway around the globe thanks to its massive fuel capacity of 53,000 gallons. As you can guess, this makes it pretty heavy. A fully loaded Air Force One would weigh over 800,000 pounds Just read this about the POUS plane,,,,,,,,,, caution had fat fingers in the title

Wonder how long it takes to fuel up 53,000 gallons?

An hour or two or three, lol?

Local price for a gal. of avgas is $4.60x53,000 gal. That's a lot of $..

[yatesville88fan]

Just amazing they can get that plane off the ground when loaded with fuel.

Check out the Dreamlifter. It’s a modified 747 that carries the 787 body sections, vert and horizontals to Everett to be assembled.

Doubt they use much avgas.

Don’t think so, not on what I put in, besides Al said it’s ok for fat fingers!!

And we pay for it..

Yep ... Jet A. Here it's about $4.75/G for Jet A and $5.25/G for LL.
Still a rather steep fill up. Our jet uses about 240G/hour, much cheaper.

POUS? Most people use POTUS.

Burning a gallon per second, you would want high capacity. Or about 5 gallon per mile

[catjuggin]

Al's jet runs on Molsen ale but in a pinch you can fill it with Olympia ( It's in the water?)

Yeah, figured out a long time ago that Molsen ale wasn't any good for drinking.

[hawkeye9]

Ut oh! I filled it with Labatt. But I was filled up with Molsen at the time. Leave it to a newer guy to screw things up! Why I was given the keys I don't know.
