Colin Crow:
Mitch thanks for your input. From my limited understanding it was a Garrison document that was collected by the HSCA.

BTW, most sources I see say the c37/c38/165 max endurance is 4-4.5 hours. The "Ferrie" FP is showing 5.5. Wonder why?

I saw a quote of C37 range of 550 miles. Hammond to Garland is about 470 miles. However I have seen nothing to suggest the C37 could carry more than pilot and co-pilot.

Ah thanks Ray.....I also saw a page that said the fuel capacity could be 45 gallons. Two wing tanks of 17.5 gall and a centre tank of 10 gall. There was also mention of a reserve tank.

What would be the weight of that fuel and four average size passengers, compared to it's 920lbs nett carrying weight?
