Leg #1 - Amarillo to El Reno


Departed Amarillo at 4:30PM with winds from 210 at 16 knots gusting 23, but at least it was mostly clear. A little gusty for the first third of the flight, then calmed down a bit and cleared even more. With enroute estimated winds aloft at 240/17 I flew a magnetic and wind corrected rhumbline course of 081 magnetic. ETA was 6:06PM. Landed at 6:14PM. Would have been exactly on time if I hadn't had trouble finding this teensy airport with a 2600 foot turf runway. Burned 90 lbs of fuel for a rate of 51.9 lbs per hour (pph).
