Well, that would be a neat mod, but the only way I can think to get that on
most planes is to improve efficiency and leave more fuel on the ground.

likely a good deal. I presently fly about 142 in a hurry, and 120 when

Personally, I need additional carrying capacity. If I were in a position

to afford
it, I would pay for that. I'm not interested in speed enough to pay that

kind of
money for more.

BTW; my cruise is 103 knots.

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people

The mod is simple -- trade up to a bigger plane.
