Pilots be advised
||| FROM JEANNIE SHARPE for PORT OF ORCAS |||
Today I ordered 100LL fuel for the airport. We currently have 3000 gallons in the tank. I have been hearing about a shortage of aviation fuel, and the busy shipping season for the barge company so I ordered it early. The next fuel truck will be here Friday, August 6 around 9 a.m.
What does this mean?
In the first 19 days of July we have sold 3400 gallons of fuel. We have 17 days until we get more fuel, and we currently have 3000 gallons.
Please keep this in mind for flight planning for the next few weeks.
