Ferry Fuel Tanks Being Installed




This week we will be installing and testing the ferry fuel tanks. One of Tom's friends in Iowa donated his time to engineer and fabricate the fuel tanks. The tanks will hold an additional 100 gallons of fuel that is needed to fly from St John's, NL to the Azores island. Tom will be back in Oshkosh on Wednesday, and we will start installing the tanks. After the tanks are installed we will have to test fly the plane to make sure that the system works flawlessly as there is no room for error when flying across the Atlantic.
