I believe it would cost nearly $650,000 to completely fuel that plane with Jet-A at my home airport.

E-AB?

Much of the equipment looks more like a ship than a plane.

Kinda funny, biggest heavy lift, but it's like any other plane, you fill it full of stuff, and you only can fly it 2 hrs.

RV 10 is 4 -5 hour at gross.

That would be a man, 3 children and a dog?

4 full size adults, 60 gallons of fuel and 100 pounds of bagage.

Paint looks a little oxidized. Here's a rag and a can of Turtle Wax. Let me know when you're done.

And the FBO owner would cry tears of joy as the fuel was being pumped.

Every FBO owner within 50 miles would cry tears of joy as they dispatched their Jet A trucks.

I saw this thing fly once when I was a kid at an air show in Oklahoma of all places.
They had a lot of Russian planes there. It was so large that the illusion of larger objects moving slower was quite exaggerated. It looked like it was just crawling.

I believe the announcer stated that it burns off 40 lbs of rubber upon landing.
crazy.

Here is footage from that actual show.

Your plane doesn't hold enough gas. Design a plane that can go 2-3 hrs. with the seats full then you have the option of going a very long time with only 1 or 2 people in the seats.

Nothing against RV 10s.

Good God, what a beast!!!

I wish they would bring it to EAA Airventure.
