My parents got me a video game for Christmas when I was a kid. I asked for ____ #2 and got _____ #3 and told my Dad I hated him. To this day I have no idea why I said it, I didn't even know that 3 existed and it was a better game.

Yeah, at the grand opening. And it didn't work AND it was still there in the tunnels when I worked at DEN. Talk about creepy - new equipment without wear or tear but also old and dusty.

I'm not your buddy, guy!

I get to go down and stand on the street corner to go make my money the hard way this week. Road construction imagery, drone basically flies itself :sleep:

In my experience, the amount of dye in the fuel can change significantly between different fuel suppliers - kind of how jet-A can be clear to straw. Did you do the paper test to check for the halo/oil left behind? And if that's the case they need to know to remove that truck or tank from service...

Eesh. Yeah, I've heard it asked by one of our customer service reps while I was helping a 172 unload pax and bags. They know not what they say :( I've also had to deal with the same customer service reps badgering single piston pilots to top their tanks off so we get paid as much money as...

The more you know! Are they widespread? And what models tend to have these?

Prist is a FSII or fuel system icing inhibitor. Jet fuel always has a certain % of water suspended in it naturally and is impossible to remove. As as the aircraft climbs and the jet fuel cools in the wings, water can come out of solution. Since the water is more dense than the jet fuel, it sinks...

My wife absolutely doesn't miss it! Only 5000 gal at a time for me but I can't count how many times I filled that truck up!

Understood! I still miss the smell of Jet-A in the morning...

Only did that test because someone asked for it. And the side by side might be true (I didn't check) but how often do you have two fuel sources when testing your fuel? Comparing two fuels samples from a misfueled plane would both look pretty blue compared to each other. If I was still...

Sent mine in as well last week for an upcoming project. Hoping it doesn't take 3 months!

You don't say?

Regarding the measurement tool in Google Maps: Runway is 75ft wide, here's what I get for the tool. Pretty accurate IMO.

Meanwhile: Absolute fire!
