Fox,

There’s more to life than being really really really ridiculously good looking

Fox,

A dead dog could probably do better than what they’ve got now

Fox,

The beam already on the ground should say “irresponsible monetary policy”

Fox,

I’m talking about the Fed, but you better believe that money found its way into crypto and startups with dubious value props

Fox,

You’re not wrong

Fox,

Would be super impressed if a C130 didn’t end up in the cornfield on t/o

Fox,

Further clarification: Only gasoline powered aircraft without the Auto Fuel STC require leaded fuel.

Although, there is an initiative underway to fully phase out leaded avgas. G100UL is the FAA approved formulation. Exciting time and long overdue.

Fox,

God that is so fucking glorious

“FAA approved STCs for the use of G100UL in all general aviation piston airplanes in September 2022”

Fox,

A Rutan Long EZ running autogas has a better environmental footprint than a Prius and is more than twice as fast

Fox,

Of course, takeoff and climb are typically at full power but to reach cruising altitudes for a single engine airplane doesn’t take very long. It’s a similar concept to a car on a highway onramp, except that airplanes actually get more efficient at higher altitudes.

It factors into overall consumption but it doesn’t really blow the whole equation for efficiency. Pilots in training do takeoffs and landings on repeat for hours at a stretch between refueling.
