Same observation for 80's soviet fighters (or disguised Phantoms...) from Kamchatka Peninsula !! However, even with added fuel (where ? in the cabin ? with fuel line and pump for it ?? odd...) the little Skyhawk II could never getter even close IMO...80s Big Hair wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 12:07 am So the guy was ferrying a Cessna 172 from Van Nuys, CA to Oahu. That is a distance of 2,550 miles. A Cessna 172 at 10,000 feet and 45% power has a range of 638 nautical miles (734 miles) according to https://www.cessnaflyer.org/specifications-172.html. He would not get even close to Hawaii unless he seriously increased the amount of fuel carried.
