Flight to F51 (Winnsboro, TX) for mogas

Winnsboro has a nice FBO (courtesy car, snacks, etc.) and at my request started selling 92 octane, ethanol free mogas (they used to carry 87 octane). This is the closest, I believe, source of aviation mogas to Dallas and Fort Worth, which is important for those of us with Rotax engines. Informaton on Winnsboro airport can be found at Airnav.com using this F51 link. When I was there, self serve was $2.54/gallon.

Refueling trip to F51. Feb 4th, 2007 (before the Super Bowl). Perfect WX. Preflight.

The TruTrak IIVS in control at 85% power.
