Sure it's easier. But with a lot of higher performance airplanes, it's just not practical (and often not a good idea) to keep the tanks...

I can't understand why you're asking if you can mark up the ACS. Of course you can, it's your copy of it. Write all over it. That said...

I've used the AC Air tugs and the Sidewinders quite a bit. I like them both. The Sidewinders are super easy to use. Virtually no...

It obviously depends greatly on how the privatization was set up and handled. When we moved to OK years ago, we were surprised to see...
