Re: KRnet> fuel filter location

Yeah. There was no way I could make it to Mt Vernon in one day without flying at night. I do not have the required equipment for night VFR so I ended up landing at Hastings, Nebraska on the first day to sleep. On Tue, Sep 17, 2024, 08:59 Oscar Zuniga via KRnet wrote: > Netters; > > Very interest
