It's a shame that joke went RIGHT over your head.
I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, but the last time I flew, the gages on the EICAS displayed fuel in POUNDER PER HOUR, not GALLONS PER HOUR.
Using the assumed fuel density out of our CFM, calculate 2500 gallons into pounds. It's MORE than the XR can even hold.
Also, like I said, I'm not the sharpest tack. But at 370 I don't usually see 460 TAS, it's usually around 440-445. If you want to see something like 460, you usually have to be around FL280/290.
nice catch, totally ignored that fact. Corrected it
