15 mile (13 NM) flight from KEDC to AUS ~ 85 gallons (322 liters). ~ 571 lbs (259 kg) of jet fuel used. ~ $477 cost of fuel. ~ 0.8991 tons of CO2 emissions.

It released almost a ton of CO2.

    Fair point, but why fly to Pflugerville in the first place? He could have flown directly from Brownsville to Austin and drove to Pflugerville.

      Austin executive is a really nice airport? Not sure really but likely the plane needed work and they scheduled with someone there, or they picked someone up or something. Could be anything.

        Could be anything.

        could be cheaper to park there overnight .

        could be he wanted nachos from some place. either way, 15 mile hops are bullshit.
