I really think there are some areas that should be off-limits to political correctness. The military is one of them. And anything that flies is another--if not for the pilot's sake then for the sake of those on the ground. This means no affirmative action for anyone connected with the flight, no special concessions or waivers of regulations for Muslims, minorities, the disabled, etc, and no pretending that the laws of physics, chemistry and aerodynamics can be overridden so that some bureaucrat can feel good about being green.
The flight crew should ask those bureaucrats this question: What would do more damage to the environment--the normal exhaust fumes emitted from six Blue Angel jets, or a massive billowing cloud of toxic black smoke created when one or more of them crashes because the biofuel was not up to the demands of high-performance aerobatics?

SONOBUOY PING!
Click on pic for past Navair pings.
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.

Why then they’ll just cancel all high performance aerobatics and declare resounding victory, having reduced “pollution” even further by forcing them to be grounded for good!

Sustainable Oils says camelina can also reduce carbon emissions by 80% over jet fuel. Sounds like BS to me. So what element are they burning instead of carbon?

I think this should be flight tested in Air Force One next time Duh Won decides to go junketing abroad.
