I should join a group that is apparently being promoted by a spammer?

And why would I buy an aircraft that gets worse gas mileage than my Bonanza?

Not to mention where are my wife, 2 kids, all their baggage, and other junk
going to ride?
Oh, and LSA across Lake Michigan? There's a topic for a new thread! :)
Should we add crossing at night? in the winter? IMC?
You first buddy, I'll watch.

Yeah...I can just imagine trying to run a business spread over 800,000
square miles from the cockpit of a 100MPH puddle jumper.

Quite the contrary, I'm giving the VLJ market a really hard look.

Gas Hog?

Well, I am flying a 182 in about 2 to 3 weeks that will burn at cruise about
6-8 gallon's of JET-A per hour and had a range of 4,000+ NM producing full
230HP at 12.5 crusing at about 130 Knots.... Oh and 100LL & Jet A is Not Gas
it's Fuel!!!

How much gas can you buy with the money
it costs to buy this fuel burner?

I read about the Wheeler Express fatal attempt to fly from Europe to
Oshkosh nonstop with wet wings and 2 tanks in the backseats... 450 gallons
total, 3800+ miles for 30 hours. Flight didn't last more than a few miles
with a +16k hour pilot builder. It had 300hp engine and a 200 mph
airframe...

I'm figuring between 240 and 380 gallons for your adventure. I'm confused
about the "I am flying" and the "had a range" parts though...

Look at the key board ASDFGHJKL should have been an S!

Well, it's going to Africa and 100LL is really hard to obtain there and if
you do get it its more than likely coming out of a rusty barrel.
