Speaking of Mogas; I have John Slade's XL spreadsheet of airports with
mogas, and wondering about its date of validity, and if you, John; or
perhaps someone else, has done up any recent updating.

Thanks,

Al

Are you flying again Al?

It's easy to find mogas airports in the east. For some reason they are
almost non-existent in the west.

See this link on my webpage:

http://www.chouby.com/apps/autogas.html

You see there are plenty of mogas airports in the east. In general
though they tend to be the airports with the shortest runways, almost
too short for canards in some cases. (That's why I need that variable
pitch prop). The few that are shown in the west are almost all seaplane
bases, totally useless to us SEL fliers.

A great resource for locating mogas is airnav.com, and that is probably
where Slade's data came from. But for practical flying the lack of mogas
in the western states is a big problem. I flew to Kansas round trip
three times from Oregon, one time via Montana and twice via
Utah-Wyoming. In each case I had to contact EAA chapter members or
rotary and canard builders / fliers enroute to help me get mogas.

Even though we have a few mogas assistants in the east, we need them
more in the west.
