There usually aren't that many Sportsman to make it an issue. 3 rds or even 
4 should be possible. You need to keep things going with these guys. You 
can't do it for two classes though. If it is possible to fly a sequence 
twice on the same tank of fuel, then 6 - 8 rds are possible in a day.  Don't 
know if it can be done with the 2007 sequence though.
