IIRC all our fuels are trucked in to this area. Pipelines? I dont think so.
“Pipelines? I dont think so.”
Most airports use pipelines. You don’t see lines of tanker trucks at airports, do you?
For the ignorant who think tanker trucks are the common means of delivering jet fuel at airports, a single 10,000 gallon tanker could only fill one Boeing 737 which holds about 10,000 gallons. Even smaller airports often have a pipeline even if smaller airplanes use a smaller tanker truck to deliver fuel to the ramp.

Bozeman has a fuel distribution center with MANY tanks all served via pipeline. Trucks deliver the fuel to gas stations and airports, etc.
There are multiple fires in our area (Bozeman) as well as thought the state and the fire haze is the worst I’ve experienced in nearly 40 years. The fire fighting aircraft have first ‘dibs’ at the fuel...
It’s certainly odd...
