I get that.

I’m trying to gauge how likely it is that an airfield that typically only services small private propeller aircraft (I assume using AVGAS) would have fuel stores that could service a wandering Osprey that happened to stop by, which I’m guessing would be Jet-A kerosene?

If the runway is too short for small jets, then it seems unlikely, unless the military has made some arrangements to keep fuel there just in case.

FWIW, it’s been about 90 minutes since I saw the Osprey drop down for a landing.

Nothing showing on ADS-B, although I have tried to track twin rotor military helicopters that fly over our place occasionally and they have never shown up as squawking.
