Fuel so good, only one afterburner can kicked in. The other one wouldn't ignite.
It seems there's a never ending indication of corruption connected to Obama and the stimulus money he seems to use for paying off his supporters.
Nothing short of tar and feathers for the whole of the Washington establishment will stop this madness.
The way things are going in the United States, we can no doubt look forward to the day when America’s naval fighter jets are piloted by lesbians and powered by whale sh*t.
In just the last few months the U.S. has become a net exporter of refined fuels, according to Energy Department statistics. Exports have been running ahead of imports by 467,000 barrels a day, with much of the fuel going to Latin America and South America.
When the Air Force was using JP-4, you had to report receiving fuel from Air Force tankers when you went back to the ship. Evidently mixing of JP-4 and JP-5 (the Navy jet fuel) produced a much lower flashpoint. You weren't allowed to bring that airplane into the hangar bay with mixed fuel.

Gov't mandated gas stations...gotta love them.
Good Grief!

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
The biofuel, made from a blend of used cooking oil, will be mixed with aviation gas or marine diesel fuel for use in the “Green Strike Group†demonstration, according to the departments’ release. It is a “drop-in fuel,†which means that no modifications to the engines are required to burn the fuel. To prepare for the demonstration, the Navy completed testing of all aircraft, including F/A-18, blue Angels and the V-22 Osprey. It also tested the RCB-X, a command boat.

Hmmm.... Swedish riverine boats, where have we heard about those in the news lately...
(snip) The USN sailors departed Iran's Farsi Island, a sensitive location home to an Iranian navy base, at 08:43 GMT aboard the two CB90 Riverine Command Boats (RCBs) that they had been operating, the Pentagon said. ...A senior defence official said the USN had "lost contact with two small US naval craft en route from Kuwait to Bahrain". It was not clear what had led to the lost communications or a reported mechanical failure in one of the craft....The CB90 Riverine Command Boat is a Swedish-designed riverine patrol craft. --- http://www.janes.com/article/57173/iran-briefly-detains-10-us-navy-sailors-on-farsi-island
Speaking of Sweden, the Swedes seem to have awful strong interests in Iran, and Hillary with both. And the Clinton Foundation as well as Obama have been on the receiving end of a lot of donations from the same biofuels company involved in the Navy green fuels program:
