So how much aviation gas does it take to fly one way to AK?

Do they make a biodiesel airplane?

80 gal But it may be leaking out of the cap .

Fred says there Are Diesel planes , so thus you Could run bio-diesel ,IF the FAA were to approve it as a suitable fuel .
I read some thing once discussing small Verry effecent diesel engines for Ultra-lites , on BIG point was that you could have a coffie can sized fuel tank and be able to runnall day

Hey, this thing here must have given you confidence in the plane.



Looks like quality equipment!!

What the hell, couldn't even take the time out to wrap the end in electrical tape?

Ten bucks says that when you press it, a little speaker gives out a "brzzzam" sound and you can pretend you're firing at enemy pilots.

Dudes call me up last night, drunk as skunks. zip suggests I upgrade to the Glock Model 23 (hi-cap .40, perfect for CW). I am convinced the 3-safety system works well, or he might have shot himself. Again.

Ok, I do sometimes get AR, AK, and AL mixed up, usually when a state has both of the letters following the A. Arkansas and Alaska both have K's. Arizona and Arkansas both have R's, but I know that AZ is a postal code so I have Arizona covered. Alaska and Alabama both have L's.

Personally, life would have been easier if we had named a state or two with X's and Y's.

I work with banks, not the post office.

Life would be easier if we just used the states names, not these federal district two-letter codes that are part of the one-world conspiracy ...
